As far as the stance goes...time will tell if it's functional or not. It's had the ghetto super heated spring lowering put on it so it probably would have clearence issues if it was drivable at the moment. I plan to pick up a 4/6 ECE drop which will probably actually raise this truck a little. Once the 4/6 is installed I figure the wheel tire combo will be good to go.
Yeah. I have the ECE 4/6. After seeing your truck, and after pondering all the sweet big wheels I couldn't afford, I HAD to send you a PM requesting the stats on the 338's and tires.
I'm having an awful time getting my act together on ordering wheels and tires.

I read all the 338 stuff. Figured they still haven't fixed the "rotor neck" clearance problem. But your spacers probably helped you on that automatically...Like a bunch of folks,
I'm 5 x 5. None-the-less, info on the backspacing and wheel size, then factoring in the 1.5 spacer thickness, should get me where I need to go....... if it's gonna be 338's.

Thanks.

Here's the way it sits now:
