Default Need an opinion

I installed a BDS 6.5 lift on my 08 4door, I ordered Mickey Thompson 395-70r-16 (38-15.50-16) the tires are on back order and now I am wondering if they will be to small with all the other 40’s out there. I went with tube fenders so I have a lot of room and I don’t want the tires to be to small and look ludicrous. So I thought about 41-14.50-16 Iroks. Tell me what you think….

38x15.5... Small?

Personally, I like to see a little more wheel well. I think it will look good.

There is always room for bigger tires. Honestly I think it will look good either way.

I think you will be fine. There are a few on here with that same lift running 37's, and they say they get some rubbing at full flex. But the set up looks perfect to me, so you running 38's would look fine. Besides, I have a BDS lift, and they seem to be the one company that has their lift measure to be EXACTLY what it's advertised at. Most companies lifts run taller than what they are called out to be, but BDS seems to give you the exact lift height.
