Thanks Frank. You are correct - if I trim the lip, then outer wheel well will rub (has a bulge) I can modify that if needed.
What's the min recommend clearance on the lip?
How about recommendations on suspension travel?
Should be pretty stiff - is a compression distance of 2" enough? If not, I'll have to modify the outer wheel well - I can get up to 4" with little modification (I should probably just do it).
I weighed the original steel wheels vs.the Forgelines. You are right that the wheels are light! The shipping boxes with 1 front and 1 rear wheel weighed 30lbs.
The original 14" wheels with 205 tires was a portly 49 lbs.
The front forgelines with 245's weigh only 2-1/2 lbs more (51 lbs) Most of the additional weight is the tire.
The 335's & wheel was 63 lbs. Too bad they don't make lighter tires
Couldn't imagine what a 18"x12" steel wheel & a 335 tire would weigh...
Here is a better picture - outside, that shows how the satin black outers give the tire a thicker look...
