    No, left handed. I will give it a new try on monday. Seems strange that there is a difference in the heating / cooling, but who know ??

    Finnaly got it on, was not easy to fit it on behind the engine, but its on now. Se attached pictures.
    Do you think a 285/70/17 tire will fit now ? The new tire is a regular general altimax tires, and the old ones are BFG MT in 255/75/17.Click image for larger version.

    Only one way to find out. I had to do a lot more work than what you have done so far to fit my old 285/70's however they were MT's not AT's.

    What other mods did you do ? I guess rear ac delete and 0,25" spacer on the ome lift and bumper cutting ?

    I did the rear heat and ac delete, cut the front bumper and an inch all the way around the front fender flare and completely cut out the entire pinch weld area. The 1/4 wheel spacers up front are just for the wheels to clear the brake caliper bracket. They wouldn't fit without the spacers

    My Mander with 285's I will be using these this summer, but next time I buy tires I might look into 275/70/17 for summer tires and 265/70/17 for winter tires.Click image for larger version.

    Looks like a tight fit. Any rub?
