>Garth,
>No, I'm running no fender flares. The tire package fits beautifully
even
>with the stock fenders. The 225 you have has a section width of about
>8.8 inches. My 255's are mounted on 8 inch rims with +1.5 offset. The
>backspacing may vary depending on where they rim maker measures
>the backspacing from. I'm looking a my invoice from my wheels and they
>list a 5.875 backspacing. This may account for the differences between
>my mounting and what you calculate. I made a lot of measurements to
>verify the fitment before I ordered my wheels. I'll have a picture
posted
>on the web soon so everyone can see.
