you do anything with crash bars or trimming?
Yes, thats the current setup. I took a sledgehammer to the crash bars and persuaded the front ones forward less than half an inch. I only did that because I rubbed in reverse, at full lock, on an incline.

gotcha, was still pondering the 18’s for the future.

295/70/18 are a smidge smaller so wasn’t sure if they’d rub.

If I went 18's it would have been methods with an 18x9 +18 offset 295/70/18. I ran that set up on one of my trucks, can't remember which one though lol

No problem, hopefully it works out for you! It will at least look good until you can have it PTM, if you go that direction.

Ooohhhh, now you are talking, so have the topper and top half of cab wrapped? Definitely unique and would look great. Now I know why you mentioned what your wheels may look like if they were black, over in Marks thread......

Huh! I bet that would look great, never thought of doing that. It would be different in a good way.
