    Wow they really fill out the wheel wells nicely and its another good excuse to get a level if you don't have one. haha

    Are you sure thats not the offset of the rims? Stock rims and those tires shouldnt stick out that much

    Good point. Those look like some of Dick Cepeks new wheels if I'm not mistaken. He could always get spacers if he wanted them to stick out of the wheel wells though.

    I don't want them to stick out, but I don't want them rubbing either.

    Well if you like the duratracs you could always mount them on your nice summer wheels too. Or you could just get you a nice durable set that way you can leave those 315s on there year round. :peace:

    I'm studding them though and can only run them in the winter. Looking at the new Toyo all terrains for summer tires in the same size.
