add the difference of the new tire to what is by default in FORScan. What’s there takes in account the weight of the vehicle squishing the tire down! Again why I only added .5” (12MM) to my tire height.

Also, you don’t need to input/mess with the HEX in FORScan. Just go into this and add the new +X MM there. Then go to TCM relearn & clear the DTCs. BAM your good!

If that still throws the wrench but you have accurate speedometer then a custom tune you will need!

It doesn't really bother me and it seems like it doesn't cause any issues.

A tune was something I was considering at one point. Not sure when, but maybe some day. :)

I love the tunes I got from 5-Star! Just called Hellwig, they said it takes them 11 weeks to ship from order date their sway Bars!! I ordered mine on Dec 25, 2020...so sometime in late March I will be getting them. Hopefully I get my order of Bilsteins before that. Ordered them on Jan 5th, 2021.

Snapped half the mounting tab off the running boards this weekend. Not a lot of wheel travel or clearance on these big luxo yachts. Set it on the ground a couple times going over ledges this weekend.

Do you have any rubbing? Those fronts look like they would hit something at full lock.

No rubbing that I can hear or feel at full lock left or right. Now since the wheel well liners are made of cloth of some type they will probably mask any light rubbing noise/vibrations. When I get the height adjustable Bilsteins I won't have to worry about hitting the liner under light load traversing some dirt n opportunity. After a few more miles if it is lightly rubbing it should leave a mark on the liners.

It does seem that the 285 and 275 width is the sweet spot for these vehicles.

Your 12.5’s are a bit too wide. I’ve seen a few 305’s posted, but cant’ remember if they have any rubbing. I know 315’s do, because Kent had to do some zip tie work on his Raptor wheels with the Navy on no lift.

Those look nice. I went with some smaller Rigid. But I have a question; how/where did you run the wires for each side to the power? Doesn’t look too difficult, but I can’t see anything too neat.

There’s a good amount of room to run wiring in the engine bay and around hood hinges. Also the firewall plug and area under driver dash also has space in the kick panel to hide the remote/strobe modules and run manual switches. See pics below of how I ran and fastened the wiring.
