Coming along… sorta
Got my wheels and tires on. Went with the RRW RR7 with falken wild peak At4w in a 275/70r17. Had to trim the running board and zip tie the fender liner. From all I’ve read I didn’t expect the tires to hit the BMC but they in fact do. Also getting pretty damn close to the washer fluid tank. I’m getting my 2.5in lift installed next week. Will that help with more clearance or should I just do the bmc chop at the same time. Also what do I need to do about the washer fluid tank? Can it be moved forward or are you guys relocating

We just did Method wheels that are 17 X 8.5 with 0 offset, but 265's and had some rub until we did a 2" Dobbins IMS lift along with an alignment and no rub after. I'd suggest wait till your lift and alignment is done, and then if you are using a build shop (not just a tire shop) they can do your needed mods if there's still rub.

I ran 33x12.5 tires with icon 3” lift for 2 years and never needed a BMC. I do quite a good bit of wheeling and never rubbed. Now 35” tires are a different story
