Anyone running 34" - 35" tires on G55
Hello,
I'm a new G owner and I'm excited to get these skinny street tires off my car.
I've seen pictures of 34-35" tires, but I haven't been able to locate anyone running this size of tires to ask questions about their setup.
Specifically I'm looking to run 275/65/20 34.33" or 295/60/20 34.45" Nitto Trail Grapplers.
I'd like to get by with spring spacers to avoid any steering geometry issues, but If I need to go that route i will.
Questions:
1. Anyone running these tires?
2. Are rubbing issues because of width or just height?
3. Is the g55 suspension the same as the normal G? Is it lower by factory for better handling at high speeds?
4. Is it safe to run 50mm spacers or is 30mm max? Why?
I've read every forum i could find about this topic, but looking for specifics and someone to discuss with who is running a similar setup.
Thank you all!

Maybe you have already seen this vendors site, but they have several options for lifting a g55 as well as explanations for different combos they offer. http://vikingoffroad.com/categories/...cedes-G-Wagen/
