you shouldn't have to roll your fenders unless your fenders are really sharp. Also watch when you go up curbs. Go very slowly because the tires get sucked up in the wheel well and can catch the fender that way too. just go slow and you'll be fine. 90% of people on these forums run 315s.

Your drop will be fine, but may have a touch of rubbing on fenders and/or quad-shocks. This depends on off-set of wheels.

6.5" would certainly be better

That would usually be a 10" wheel
![]() Jazzer ![]() EDIT: Actually, one can have ANY width wheel that has 6.75" back-space out back and maybe only need a bit of Hammer Time/Sister Sledge. I have this on my 11" wheels, but serious rolling of fenders to avoid any rubbing.
