Im guessing your talking about making m1008/m1028. Would probably be cheaper and easier to swap out the diffs for a 3.73 gear. Im sure there are people who would trade him straight across for the 4.56s.

Holy crap! Fitting 39" tires on a stock 1008 will take a lot more than just trimming fenders. They will rub on d*mn near everything without a lift. Otherwise the only way I can see them fitting is maybe a front zero-rate/leveling kit, a whooolllle lot of trimming, wheels with a lot of custom backspacing, and some pretty large wheel spacers.

It might look like this.

I would call that minor trimming. Those are some large tires .

yeah start to think he is going to need a lift kit. Even just a small one

I put the hum V tires on mine and had to do a 4 inch lift. I also had to cut the fenders. It was really easy to do. It tool a couple of hours with a cut off wheel and a body hammer and dolly.

37x13.5R17's... The only place they rub is on the pitman arm on right turns...

It looks like those have been trimmed up to.

I cut about 3" from the back and 2 from the front, I even cut away the lower part of the inner fender on the rear. I do plan on doing a 2" lift in the near future just to replace the stock springs with something better.
