I have OME mediums with stock size tires. If I put 265's on how much turning radius will I lose after I adjust the bump stops?

Hey...I can't answer your question but I can say that totally stock I have to make a 3-point turn in some cul-de-sacs. Haha. What ratio are u putting on w/ 265? 265/75?

haha...ok ok that makes a little more sense. I was wondering what compelled someone to throw 265s on a series...a little to wide IMO. So do u live in TN Leslie? and what Series Rover do u have? I'm going to UT next year...

I'm just outside Kingsport, about 1 1/2 hours from Knoxville....

I've got a SIII that is currently in pieces... my weeknds recently have been obligated, keeping me from continuing the re-assembly process.... I may just take a week off and work on it non-stop to get the thing back together at some point before long, lol......

Knoxville's an okay town..... lots of restaurants, mostly good; but bad traffic, though... I dunno how, but LA traffic isn't as frenzied as K-town's is... After one year there, the wife declared "no mas!" and we got out of there... it wasn't the town itself, it was just driving in it....

Gotta say, it's not far from the Smokies, from some good paddling, from some good wheelin', etc... bad air, though, it's got bad ozone problems, in the top-10, right behind the West-Coast bunch....

haha...well it must be nice having a series and living so close to David Gage...haha I got my truck in Kingston...and for a while i had the two confused...or actually i thought they were the same. Next year if you wanna go hit some trails just drop me an e-mail or something. I'll have either the disco or the series at school all the time...prolly the disco mostly.
