rbryantaz - Are you running a 265/65/18 or 265/60/18 tires? I thought I saw you mention you had the 60 series tires in another post.

You are right, I posted the wrong thing, they are 265/60/18.

Sorry about that!

No problem. What do you think it would take to get a 265/60/18 (31.5") to fit?

Correction: What do you think it would take to get a 265/65/18 (31.5") to fit? Seems like maybe a 1.5-2" hub spacer?

My calculations (online tools) show a 265/60-18 is a 30.5".

Just curious how you come up with 31.5"?

Duc, you are correct. I meant 265/65/18 is a 31.5" tall tire.
Here is a e71 with what seem like 32" tires and large spacers.
