Default Thanks...

Dante,
Thanks so much for the pics, that is more than adequate of what I expected. I do like that look and its a little more height and less concerns of rubbing! Now I just need to check the options of how many people make a tire with those dimensions in a 17. Great looking rig btw!

Thanks, rhey are a great looking tire.

It was just for the look. They pushed the edge of the tread out flush with the flares. It has more of a Land Rover 110, expedition, look without the spacers. Without the spacers it keeps a little more mud inside the fenders too.
Just looking at your pictures, Dante... I think your JK looks fantastic with that set up... much better IMO without the spacers... an intelligent choice of tire size, I'd say.
