Mark-
I have a 3600 with 16" Ford rims, and 1/4 inch spacers on the front. A
little close on one side, but no problems to speak of. My tires are B.F.
Goodrich LT 245/75 R16. They look great, and the ride is a lot better
than what I had with the original 15's. Also kicked up the gas mileage, and
lowered the RPM's. I plan to keep them.
