    Ok Ive got a couple questions about some projects that have been throwing around in my head.
    Im going to run a set of 18x8 rims +35/+40 offset (cant remember which) in the spring but I want to have as much clearance up front as i can. Currently I do not have 4wd fenders because Im waiting for warmer weather so paint work will be easier.
    Now my real questions
    1. If I run a 245/40/18 in the rear what size should i run up front? I also do not have power steering so the thinner tire i can run the better.

    2. Does anybody have a pictured layout of how they did their trailor fenders up front? I want to do this in the summer so i can go lower.:)

    I'm running 235/40's both front and back on 18x8 (+40). They are just about the same height as stock.
