1. On your 285/75-16 BFG A/T tires, what size rim did you use, and do you have any problem with rubbing? Also what is the width of the tire...11.5 inches?
stock 16" wheels. yes, rubbed a lot, but I trimmed the plastic it was rubbing, and got some wheel adapters to push the wheels out 1.5" and that cured the rub. I think they are 11.3" wide.

2. The Superlift is that the 2.5 inch type lift?
Not Superlift, it's Fabtech 2.5" lift coilovers.

3. The Truspeed Speed Sensor Calibrator, does that correct help your gas mileage or just performance?
This is a speed sensor calibrator for tire diameter changes. So it corrects the MPH / mpg / odometer, anything that wold be affected by changing tire travel.

4. At the risk of sounding dumb...what is a Goeske whell adapter?
Ahh, not a dumb question at all! These are wheel adapters (described above). They are meant to serve as an extension of your hub. They attach to your axle's hub using nuts that look like lugnuts. The adapters have new studs that you then place the wheel on top of, and use your original lugnuts to mount the tire onto the wheel adapter. It will move the entre wheel/tire out from the wheel well by what ever size adapter you installed. I installed 1.5" adpaters, so the wheel/tire now protrudes an additional 1.5" from the stock position. This was done to stop the tire from rubbing on the frame and Upper Control Arm.

Goeske is the last name of the man who fabricated them. You can see more of his products at WheelAdapter.com

Hope that helps! Thanks for looking!
