So, is it safe to say with stock tires, or even 205/65/15 tires (which I understand are the same diameter as stock), the Postal flares would work flawlessly? Or would they cramp the style of even these tires?

Then again, the TriStar arches that are apparently a little bigger--would they interfere with a stock tire?

Sounds to me like some of us are considering the application for 2WD rigs with basically a stock sized tire.

Although I'm out of the snow these days, back east that dirty, cold pants thing was a real PIA. And of course I only remembered it would happen right after my butt got cold and wet--again.

thanks, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA

1 - TriStar: No sheet metal cutting is required. These are big and do restrict the size of tire you can install by about 1" - I got rid of my TriStar arches on my TriStar as quick as I could due to the clearance issue.
