Outside to outside in the notch area. I'm trying to figure out how wide my frame should be. I think Brett said I have to narrow my axle 3" on each side to fit 24x10 with a 35mm offset. I'll probably narrow it 3.25" or 3.50". So I'm trying to figure out if my wheels will rub the frame if I leave it at the current width which is 38" wide inside. And 42" outside.
 
Yes, that's with a 3" bd and 275/30/24.

I would go 1.75" per side if you intend to drive around Cali a lot
 
How much would I need to narrow for a 25mm offset? I think I'm going with 285/30/24. Wouldn't 275 look stretched on a 24x10? I'd like to be able to fit a finger between the fender and wheel with it laid out.
 
2" will be more than enough. Yes a 275 will looked stretched on a 24x10 but most people don't want to pay for the 285/30/24 when they see the price difference
 
I found a place online the other day that wanted $253 I think per 285 for Pirellis. I'm gonna try to get some shops to price match. I definitely don't want a stretched look. If I find a 9.5 wheel that I like then ill go with the 275.

Where in the notch area? It's wider at the front

Yes they make a 315/30/24 but they are a little hard to find and usually high. I'm guessing you got different wheels?
 
FUCK. Ill never install an EKMW kit on any other truck of mine again. The shock location is shit, and now that I drove it, the inside lip of my rim is destroyed thanks to their shock mount. God damnit. Will be installing steering limiters tomorrow.
