Bridgestone MTs
Does anyone have to true measurements of 32x11.5 Bridgestone Mud Terrians? I am mounting them on 15x8 US Wheels and I was wondering if I would have to trim my ARB...even with a 3 inch suspension lift

He's beat up the outer lugs of his tires and is considering cutting the arb.

To be honest, I've rubbed 31x10.5 AT's on my ARB back when my SAW t-bars were still in the process of settling. This was when turning & bouncing the suspension pretty hard (at the dunes...).

They are 31.8" according to the Bridgestone website and yes I've rubbed them on my ARB with a 3" lift. However, they were only rubbing. The slicing part came after I pushed the ARB back in the dunes and bottomed out the suspension.
To cure the problem I pulled the ARB back to where it is suppose to be and then I bent the insides of the wings in a bit. I'll have to try and find a picture or take one to post later, but it's a pretty siimple procedure. At the end of the wings the metal folds in at a 90 degree angle. I cut a small slit in that piece with a hacksaw so it would bend easier and then I just took a hammer to it and folded that little section in more. Seems to have done the trick and from outside the wheel well the ARB looks the same. keep in mind the ARB doesn't quite fit the same on all trucks so yours may be different depending on how far in the bumper is. I'll try and get a picture up tonight or tomorrow.

Pictures would be great if you could get those up.

I'm really sorry! I have a tendency to post and then repeatedly forget that I'm suppose to follow up!
Anyway, here's a picture showing the cut I made and how I bent the inside flap in. The cut was necessary to allow the flap to bend in at the top. I just took a grinder with a flap disk and ground down the sharp corner above the cut and then sprayed some paint on the inside there. So far seems to have done the trick.
