Default Buckstop front bumper tire/rim size?

I am real close to ordering my Buckstop front and rear bumpers. After I wear out the BFG 265/75R16's I have now on stock rims I was wondering if I could fit 18" rims with BFG 285/75R18's on my LMM without having to do any trimming or offset.
If you have a Buckstop on an LMM, what size tire/rims are you running?

i dont know what a buckstop bumper looks like, but if your only going 285 75 i think you will be fine. Good luck

DunesRunner, you could show me a thousand pictures of your bumpers and that won't change my mind. I am sure many people like the looks of IronBull bumpers, I'm just not one of them. I have done a lot of research on replacement bumpers and seen pretty much all the offerings out there and I feel Buckstop best fits my needs for protection, ground clearance and looks.
That is one of the great things about this country , "Freedom of Choice", but if I am not allowed to freely discuss my personal choice on this forum just say so and I will go elswhere.

true it is his choice Dune runner.

If a banks representative came on here as a dealer he could never get me to buy one of his products.

Not saying I wouldnt buy one of yours. If I was into the whole aftermarket bumper scene I probably would.

to each his own. Lets not let this thread get heated so that I dont have to go deleting posts.

Its cool. to each his own...Im not pissed...I just didn't think he knew about the product...some people like the redneck RanchHand style. Who am I to tell people what they have to buy? I agree totally, If a skyjacker rep came on here, I'd still never buy his stuff.

I'll even post the pic for buckstop... The ground clearance difference is only about 1 inch



This one has less ground clearance then mine....

Just so you know...my competitors products don't scare me, what is business without competition. As long as you aren't buying a RA i could care less if you prefer someone else's product.

Well I'm pissed................I just realized what a GRUMPY old man I have become . Sad, so sad!!!!

I agree with you on a couple of points, I wouldn't have an RA, AP, RH, BFD, TDK, F4, ARB etc. etc.

No, my mind is made up, BS or nothing.

TB

P.S. Can anyone answer my original question, whatever it was?
