WTT KM2s

I cant wait to see the look on your face when I outdo you on the trails. With my lower truck, smaller tires, ahhhh. Ill bring tissue.

 

Your wheels must really be messing with your tire size.


Even with the Enduros I'm not rubbing at all.


I was expecting to rub though...


What's the deal with the spindles?


Also, is re-gearing REALLY necessary?

 

I dont rub at full turns but when Im hitting up the trails, and my wheel compresses into the well, its rubs alot. My alignment is good so I know thats not it, and my bs is 4.0, which isnt too bad at all

As far as spindles go, Im getting some new coilovers soon and I dont want to preload the springs at all. The only way to do that and retain my list is getting a spindle. I decided against spending 1,000 on a spindle (which gives me 4" of lift) and just keeping my Kings set at "0" preload which gives me 1.7" of lift, and that only lets me fit stock size.

Regearing isnt really necessary but I hate the power loss and gas mileage decrease.

My 33" muds that I have on now have also compressed into my wheel wells to point where they snapped the clips on my fenders and 3 out of 4 will no longer sit flush with the truck (despite buying new clips for them).

Its just too much of a pain IMO to keep the size.

 

I thought you were past that whole "I want to keep my truck looking good phase".


A few clips shouldn't bother you!

 

LOL. I am, my truck is scratched to shit and its not even a year old. I definitely dont mind taking it out, I just rather make it easier on me. Im not Ray.....

 

I have 265/75 MT's and I ripped the clips outta the inner fender as well. If you were closer I would trade you I love my MT's but I wish I would have gone 285's.

 

Will I need spacers with my stock wheels if I get the your tires!

 

Yes you will.

 

What size? Do you know if you want to do it yet.

 

No. I dont know. LOL. Im soooooo confused. Gimme a little. If we tried Id like to meet you halfway and do it. Im heading up to Mammoth March 29th and will be there for a few days so we could probably do it then if I decide to indeed take that route.

 

^sounds good, let me know where and what time. I'll try and not put many miles on the tires.

 

Some people have to pay RENT still Manny! unlike u!

Good Luck with your confusion

​

 

lol.

 

how much are you spending on your kings? i was thinking of getting some front and rear....? havent decieded

 

hey dude, not sure if you saw this post:

They are not MTs but they are smaller and in pretty good shape.

 

Thanks for the info but I found a trader already. I'm just trying to muster up the courage to go through with it and fully committ

 

A little over 1800 for the set (f&r) down here in San Diego. Thats what what the shop quotes me a few months back so I'm hoping the price is still good. I would really love to get some used ones though. Once my bonus check comes on I'll scope out all the options

 

Here are some pics of the tires, hope this helps.

 

I loved my 265 KM2s but they are a lot of tire for a daily driver. The 265 KM2s run smaller than my new 265 Nittos though. I really missed the KM2s when I got in a muddy patch though. I have owned nothing better for offroad.

 

what UCA's are you running? i was thinging of some camberg's any knowledge or info would help. im going to get another taco 2010 or 2011 4x4 when they come out and i want something nice and smooth. wont go offroad much but when i do something that will soak up what it needs to.
