To Lift or not to lift

I thought marret was poking an inch or so and you were flush but maybe just camera angle as I think marret and Whit too have the same setup as you. Thanks otter! Great info!

Remember he has fender flares and it is a Ford, not GM.

Whoops my bad. Thank you!

Ya, the fender flares help a lot. For space, preventing gunk on the body, and visually. I’m not well versed on the finer points of offset but, before I had the Agile 4x conversion, my 265’s wanted to rub a bit inside. In the conversion, the wheels are moved forward, so we had to trim the black trim some. No rubbing inside or outside now. In this pic, you can see how the rear tire fits just inside the flare. I haven’t measured, but it’s got to be a good inch or more. Not sure how your GM would compare.

So you have no lift on your van and can fit 265/75/16's without rub? Just wanted to confirm that.
