    Those look great with ST Maxx on them.....makes my KM2 vs ST Maxx decision harder. My biggest concern with the Maxx are the issues with pulling right for no reason.

    Make sure you visit here and post pictures too.

    I need a little help. I have DC EC 255/85/16. I have some minor rubbing even after removing the mud flaps up front. It appears I am catching a little bit of the fender flare when I am turning and stuffing at the same time (turning into driveway). I am trying to figure out whether alignment or trimming is the best option moving forward. I like my alignment and handling.

    Set up- OME 887, Nitrochargers, OME Dakar Rear, SPC LR UCA, DC EC 255/85/16, TRD 7.5x16 w/ 4.4-4.5 bs from what i have figured out anyhow.

    Any help is appreciated!

    It looks like you need more caster, I have a similar setup and no rubbing but my caster is about 3.5. Make sure your alignment tabs are maxed out to push the tire as far forward as possible.

    I hate to pay for a re-alignment, but if that avoids additional trimming and allows me to run a mud flap i would prefer that route. Is there any chance or rubbing on the bumper by adjusting cam tab to max? I don't really understand alignment at all.

    I understand that some people have issues with rubbing on the front bumper at max, I've got a ARB so it isn't an issue for me. If you do rub you can always back them off or its a good excuse to get a new aftermarket bumper :D
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-do-an-alignment-at-home.252256/
    This is at home alignment stickey in the suspension thread.

    I'm no expert by any means, I learned a lot from reading posts on different problems with rubbing and lifts it seems that every truck is different.

    That sucks....I have duratracs (265/70R17) currently and they have always been straight. Damn you ST Maxx!

    Yeah I had 265/75r16 Duratracs and so far the ST MAXX are soooo much quieter. We will see if they stay that way

    Hey guys I dont think this classifies as skinny but seeing some of these sizes maybe i can get a answer. Im looking to run 265/70/18. They Measure 32.6 inch. Will they fit after i lift 2"? Im seeing guys doing 255/80/17 which are 33"

    Just ordered the Cooper discoverer ST. Hoping I get Decent mpg compared to the ST Maxx and remains quiet with good road manners. Got the 255/85/r16 off eBay for 900 shipped. Cheaper to get the ST’s with traction boards as opposed to ST Maxx. Update with pics soon.
