I was just looking at the front cladding this morning and wondering what the trimming looks like. You (or anyone else for that matter) wouldn't happen to have some pics of the cladding after the trim would ya??

geolandars installed...look great!....with the 285/60/18's...trimmed less than an inch wedge from passenger side cladding, was not rubbing on drivers side , but was so close, trimmed 1/2 wedge, JIC
been searching for tire pressure used in theses larger tires...no mention of these geolandars but the nittos seemed to run 38, 40 and 45 from threads I have seen
...tire installer said 32 lbs, tire rack said use manufactures # EVEN with any larger tires. installer logic was taller side wall would flex more , but after thinking a bit , seems since i stayed with 60 series..still same ratio of sidewall?
feel tireracks answer is from their lawyers, not tire experts...Any 285/60/18 geolandars and others willing to chime in?

The sidewall height (aspect ratio, I believe, in tire industry terms) increases with tread width.
A 60 series tire has a sidewall height approximately 60% of the tread width.
A 50 series is 50% & so on.
Wider tread = taller sidewall.
I'm running 285/75 R 16" & keep em' at about 45 psi in summer for a little less rolling resistance & will be dropping them down to about 35-38 psi for a little better traction this winter.
