My 10.5 wide tires stick out at least an inch beyond my wider LJ flares. If you have the normal (skinnier) flares, you'll have about 3" of uncovered tire. At first I liked the look 8 years ago on a stock Jeep. Now I'm wanting something in the 3.75-4" flavor. On the positive side, tire clearance is a non issue with suspension and steering parts.
Its actually an aluminum plate I milled out in a CNC class. Those 8 bolts hold on the fake beadlock ring.
I'm eventually going to put red LEDs behind it for a 3rd brake light.
So, I had the level 8s ordered, DT got back to me and said they had been damaged in shipping. That was the last until the end of the month when they get restocked...Guess it wasn't meant to be. So I said replace them with the MB 7s they have on their site, ha! the guy told me they stop sellin them and don't know why they still advertise em...damn!
Nothing else caught my eye at DT, so I finally just ordered the Black Ion Alloy 171s...backspacing was around 3.50. Shouldn't be too much of a difference anyhow..
