how many inches in lift did you need to clear those tires? Those are the exact tires I have been wanting on my '05 and I have been debating on how high I need to go so that I don't have rubbing issues. I saw on the lift reference sticky that 3" will do it but would like some validation.
Sorry man I totally haven't been on T4R this fall (been living at work). Hope you already have your answer but here goes:
I have Icon Stage 1, which I got at least 3" in the back. I also removed the mudflaps (F&R), and moved the fender well forward in the front). Keep in mind that Cooper S/T Max 255/80/17s are quite a bit smaller than others in that size (i.e. BFG M/T) Cooper's website shows them as 32.8 rather than 33.3 or so for other brands.
