New to the website, I’m sure there’s a thread for this somewhere in here so go easy on me lol. So soon I’m going to get a 2.5” OME lift. I want to clear cooper discoverer stt pro 295/70r17 tires and I don’t really want to do the BMC if I don’t have to. I know it’s not the most difficult thing to do but I don’t like cutting/welding on the frame.I know it’s just the ear of it for the body mount but still not my favorite thing to do. So my question is can I clear those tires on pro comp 69 series (4.75” backspacing/-6mm offset) without doing the body chop? The mud flaps will obviously have to be removed/modified. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this offset and that size tire. I like that it’s a hair wider/taller than the 285/70r17 and was just wondering if it was possible with that wheel or if anyone has a wheel in mind that will work with a different backspacing. Thanks in advance.

You will need the BMC.

HI, Dsjr12-

As vudoo noted, you'll likely have to do the BMC. Even with 285's this modification may be needed.

x3. It will be a must. You will likely want to get new UCAs as well if you have not....going to need that extra caster.
