    Those tires should fit just fine with very little trimming. I ran that size AT's before the lift. a few twists of the T-bars to take the rake out of the VX will make them fit even better. I would skip the spacers though. That will just put your tires into the cladding when turning since it makes your turning arc wider.

    I appreciate that you got that size to fit...although I think my offset of +10mm could make it harder....we'll see.

    about the spacers..I was meaning for the rear coil springs instead of buying the 912's. Orion did this before Moab, used spacers to gain like 1.5" to 2" of lift and he claims his ride didn't change & maintained his original handling characteristics.

    I'm still not sold on the 3" lift ( I love the look but not the fear of boots 'o' break'in along with possible cv damage). Plus, I think a 3" lift will make my new shoes look too small!

    These tires do have the "Snowflake/Mountain" symbol on the sidewall from what I see in the photo. As far as the others you listed, they are A/T's which is what I have now (Revo's). Great for alot of things but not so great for mud. The FireStone Destination M/T gets good grades for mud, snow, etc.. and was my 1st choice until I stumbled onto the Green Diamond's.
