It does, about 1/2" more wheel gap... I'm planning to put a set of Eibach Lowering Springs on mine to get ride of that extra 1/2" and probably close it about an additional 1/2" (1.0" total drop)

Here is how mine currently sits with MRR017's and SS1LE tire size (285/30 & 305/30)...

Hey Capt, thanks for confirming, I would say that 1/2" drop will make it look just right. Seems like it's a very expensive endeavor, between the rims, tires and lowering kit.

The springs are going to cost me about $350 (there are less expensive lowering springs), I'm going to do the work myself so I'll save the labor...

From what I understand the Eibach springs will drop me about 1", which should nicely close up the gap (while still leaving some gap), I definitely am not going for the "Ricer tires in the wells" look, just want to close the gap a bit...

Another option you could do is go with 275/35 & 305/35 and that would close up the gap as well without needing lowering springs...

Lol, definitely no "ricer tires in the well". I'll hang tight until you complete your build before I make a move. Keep us posted brother.
