The rear wheels are fine and I do not have any kind of lift springs, that's why I hesitate to bump up the frontend too much. I dont want the vehicle to become unbalanced or something. My tires are 285/60R18 about a 31" diameter so they should fit according to all the threads I've read about rim/tire upgrades. If I can just get a 3/4" - 1" more clearence on the door side of the front wheel wells I'll be all set. I'll try removing the wheelwell plastic and removing the metal behind it. Wish me luck!
