Hey guys,

Finally put 30's on my 16 RIOT. BFG Goodrich 30x9.5x15 on 15x8 pro comps with 3.75 inch backspacing. Had to remove the wheel well (did not cut it out in case I ever have to replace it. And I did the pinch weld mod which was super easy. Have no mechanic background and did it all myself. I've had the 30s on for a month with no issues, just had to get the rims and tires balanced and weighted properly. She looks glorious, got about .5 of an inch sticking past the fender now. Protip, your stock tires have sensors in the valve stem and will flag the tire pressure light if you don't have the shop swap the stems into your new set. Oh, also 0 RUBBING and no lift. Even at full lock. damn wheel wells are the jeeps #1 enemy. (NotE: i did keep the front bumper portion of the wheel well in as it secures in the electrical equipment).

Where did you get the 3.75 in spacers. I would love to do this exact set up on my riot but haven't been able to find big enough spacers. Also if you could help with the details of the pinch weld mod that would be fantastic!
