Hey guys,
I have the opportunity to sell my BFG Muds that I have on my rig now and replace them with the new Mickey Thompson MTZ's...great news I know. However, it's about size...always is.
I can fit 285's with zero problems. I test fitted ADH8796's 305's today and it looks like I might have a few issues.
Here's a pic of the biggest place of concern
Front bumper, valence can be trimmed but I'm worried at full stuff it may rub on the metal part of the bumper which I'd rather not have to trim:
The back isn't so much of an issue as I can remove the mudflap if it rubs on that but another area I'd like for you guys to look at.
What do you guys think? The 285's sound better but the 305's look better. The 285's fit perfectly in the fender wells, the 305's will stick out quite a bit further posing the danger of dings and scratches from rocks on the paint (the newly installed sliders will help a little bit with that).
Here's a pic of the two comparatively:
They look so much bigger and badder. However, I think the 285's will still give the bigger "fill in the fender better" look but the 305's once again are still better looking IMO. Either way I'm gonna go with the MTZ's as long as all of my funds come together.
Here's a zoomed out pic so you can see how it looks overall:
So what do ya'll think? Am I gonna rub a lot with the 305's? Should I just take a chance and go for 'em? Or should I keep with what I know and go with the 285's?
Thanks for readin,
Fink
