17x9 -38 and 295 M/Ts aren't that hard to fit as long as you have aftermarket UCAs and a good amount of caster.
What I've done so far:
- Lots of front bumper trimming and fender liner relocation
- Very aggressive BMC
- Trimmed black fender end cap and bent the metal tab behind it
What I still need to do:
- Upgrade bump stops: Found out after my last trip my tire is hitting the top of my fender at full articulation
- Upgrade to aftermarket UCAs: Only have 2 degrees caster, need more because the tire is rubbing the inside of my fender. You might not need to trim the black fender cap or bend the metal tab if you already have UCAs and lots of caster
Honestly, if you do all this, you could probably go even bigger than 295s and get away with it.

I’m having the rubbing issue here as well. Just put 1.25” spacers on and have 285’s. Are you saying to get an alignment with max caster (I have aftermarket ucas) and a little trimming up front and I should be good?
