What are your tire sizes? I just got the 17 inch methods and I am not digging them with this tire, I was dead set on sending them back but I really like how yours looks.

Thanks!
Tires are 245/65/17 Continental Terrain Contact A/T, but they will rub unless youve got a lift. Get the 225/60/17 if no lift kit.

Nice XT Charlene! What 3" lift did you use to make room for the 245/65/17 Conti's? Thanks!

Lol, sorry my Cars name is Charlene...I used 2inch strut spacers in front and rear with 2inch alignment kit and then added King springs. Total was just under 3inch lift. BTW front tires still rubbed a bit for the first 5k miles.

Any issues with your q300 rubbing rear sway bar or being a bit close to a CV joint? My XT is lifted 2 inches and I noticed exhaust pipe rubs the rear sway bar and is super close to driver side CV boot.
