should probably go with the 15x7 rather than the x8's

30x9.5 is roughly a 245-70R16 in the flavor of a 15" rim

with OME lift, maybe some clevis and an extra iso for leveling, with the pinch pounded (may not even be necessary) 30x9.5 on 5x4.5 15x7 4" bs should fit very well even in a meaty M/T

the x8 will make it tighter on the clearances and reduce the capability of how low you can air them down should you need to

I have the OME lift and I'm running 265/70R16 on 16x8s. They rubbed alot. I had to cut alotta plastic and cut the pinch welds off. The specs on the tire say they are 31.7" tall.

Pretty sure cutting off the pinch weld is a BAD idea.

I am Frankenlifted with Al's A-Arms.
General Grabber A/T2 31x10.5R15 mounted on 15x7 Cragar D Windows with 4 inches of backspace.
After flattening over the pinch welds, I had no problem there.
The tires do rub the sway bar at full lock.

Well, I left some there. I didnt like cut it off flush with the body. I cut it way down then rolled it so there wasnt any sharp edges. I would post a picture but I'm halfway around the world lol

how much lift does a frankenlift give you? i am going to do OME heavy duty springs, shocks and strut 2.5 inch lift in front and rear so is frankenlifted the same amount of lift?
