You need to fender cut too. 235/75/15s (28.8" tall) required a bit of front fender surgery on SOTE.

The 235 tires probably look the best on an Eagle if you're willing to cut the rockers and fenders back a little, but I think 215 BFGs would look awesome. I love my "stock" 205/75/R15 BFG Radial T/As, but they could be a little bigger. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice power for 31 inch tires, I need all I can get out of this thing lol!

I had planned on going to at least 235/75/15s, which is why I had lower ratio axles. Too bad I won't be able to finish it unless I sell something else.
