The LE package fender moulding does not help with clearance issues.

Sorry about no posting over the weekend...computer fried.

"The LE package fender moulding does not help with clearance issues."
Yeah the molding on the drivers side is gone so it does clear better than the other side.

"get your front springs re-arched"
I'm not sure of a place around Charlotte NC that re-arches springs guess I need to look into it.

Mickey Thompson classics ???
Eagle alloys.

Any help on what size might fit? I'll probably take it to the tire store and have em mount up a couple of different tires to see.

Ok so the rubbing is starting to get on my nerves. I found a place to re-arch my springs so I'm going to start with that first. In the event that re-arching doesn't get me all the clearance I need, what would you guys suggest?
Body lift, suspension lift, cut the fenders,didn't know if i could bag the front

The tires are 305/70/R17 so my calculations tell me it's about a 33.8" tire.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions
Randy

If you go narrow and tall you are less likely to have rubbing problems if you go wide and tall. my 315s rub on my drag link, but they are pretty narrow for their height.
