Quick question: I got a clinometer app from Smittybilt and I'm trying to set it up. I'm trying to figure out the "roll" degrees, the "pitch up" degrees and the "pitch down" degrees... Does anyone have an idea of those numbers? I just don't want to roll over trying to find all those infos...

Thanks

Nice tires. Do you have any idea of you're MPG loss when you went from your original tires to the 285/70R17? Do you have wheel spacers with the 285? When you disconnect the front does the tire rub on the outside rim of the fender or does it go inside the fender?

Thanks a lot for your time

I haven't put the new tires on yet because I'm waiting on new rims, so I don't know about the loss of MPG. But, with the 285's, I have a rim with 4.5" backspacing and don't rub. And I have flat fenders so I'm not even close to rubbing the fenders with the 285's and I still won't be close to rubbing the fenders with 315's.

I love mine. Measure the hole cut 3 times! :-). Mine was close, but the template is good. Also, be sure to grease the inner sleeve really well. I used a white spray grease and works well.

I was talking about the MPG loss when you went from stock (255/75R17 or 255/70R18) to 285/70R17...

You are aware that either way these numbers are both very high, I'm curious to know why they may be so high or is that your reason for posting?

Mount it then proceed to wheel off camber....when you flop on your side mark it quickly so you have a good idea when your close the next time...
