    Are you running fenders and what size wheels are you using. I am looking at the same setup but I think 285 are to tall for fenders. Any comments would be appreciated.

    I am not running fenders. Check my build site for rim specs.

    The 285/35/18 should be approx 25.9 inches high. I am using 295/30/18, which are 25 inches and there is plenty of room in the fender for more height. I did put 1" spacers behind the wheels to move the tires away from the body and closer to the outer edge of the fender. It depends which axle you have. Check my build thread for pics.
