Well, not tuckin'
but they look 'aight.
(they sit wide right now because I'm running spacers to flush it out)
but if I went lower, I'd lose the spacers, and they'd sit 2" inside the flares.

(BTW, that crushed pinch-rail is not my doing!
Douchebag towtruck driver did it and then wanted to bend it back with vise grips!
I stopped him when I saw what he was doing, and then he tried to jack it up again
in the same place !!! idiots
I'm still trying to get them to pay for it)

What size tire you running there?

In the pics i'm running 245/45/18 front and 265/45/18 rear. (got em used for cheap, so I couldn't be choosy)
I'd like to go narrower- around 225 to eliminate some of the rubbing.
Personally, I wouldn't go lower than 40 series for daily driving, just because if you hit a hard pothole, you're done for.

talk to your powdercoater. they will tell you exactly how they prefer them prepped. but most will tell you to bring them in as is

I just got mine put on yesterday. Had the front wheels bored out and I put a 1/4 inch spacer on the rear. I am running a 215/40/18 in the front with spindles and it laid out great.

thats awesome, did you have to move your clutch master with the 40 series tires?

No because of the tires are so narrow and the titan wheels are a wider wheel they kinda stretched a little and clears fine.
