Not really My "field"..But have you Tried a set of 225/45/17's on the front?..I "read" somewhere On forum that the "better setup/Max Size" is 225/45/17 and 245 or 255/40/17's on the Rear(without Rubbing issues)..You can Ponder that or Dismiss it.Just thought that may be Some Help.

OK - great info - definitely don't want the bounce.
I will look into the GC's and just the stock replacement as my two best options.
I think I will still need to trim the fender however. Like I said, I like the ride height were it's at right now.
Have some more investigating to do.
Thanks.

I can run the 255's up front w/out any side rubbing issues on the fenders at all for the turns. It hit's on the top only, so a smaller width tire won't really help with this issue.
But thanks.

Well if it's further in from being smaller maybe it won't hit on top.

It really souds like your wheels have an offset that's lower than what if should be, what are your wheel specs?
