You should be fine with clearance as long as alignment is right and especially with 3 piece front end

i just brought some rota slipstreams 15x8 +38.. I used the offset calc with my 8.5 wide street rims, with 23 offset and 225 tires... based on that difference i dont see how its going to work with the knuckle.. so Ive ordered 25mm spacers just in case

I know that MT recommends using a min of a 9" wide rim for the 275.

I pull the trigger on these tires and the ride height is high on the front end. What height is everyone running with these tires or on any taller tires(26in) . Should I equally balance the ride height the same for front and rear? Right now my front is higher. I'm trying to make height adjustment now before doing my alignment tomorrow

for proper weight transfer raising the rear will be better.
