    The tire shop put the spacers on when the mtr's went on. I can see them on there. All the lugs are on tight. It's off by quite a bit. I'd say a good inch or so, almost as if there is no spacer on the passenger side.

    Take off the wheel and check everything out. Something definitely doesn't sound right.

    You don't have 15 minutes to jack up the front and check it out? There's a problem, if you have identical setup on both sides and one side is an inch off, something's not right and personally I'd be worries about driving on it when it takes almost no effort to check.

    I'm off my soap box, I'm just trying to look out for you and don't want something bad to happen that could've been avoided.

    After taking the wheel off last night I noticed driving this morning that the high pitch squeak is gone but the popping sound is 2x as bad. :annoyed:

    Did you drive around or flex any with the MT/R's before doing a CMC? (can't remember if you've done that already) If so, how was the rubbing on the body mount? You're sitting at about 3'' in the front, correct?

    didnt take before or after measurements but should be right at about 3 inches. didnt flex before cmc but i still have no rubbing on it. i need to trim the fender on the driver side some more though.

    side note: im going to just about take apart the passenger side to find this squeaking/popping/creaking noise on friday and lube up everything REALLY good. which reminds me i need to order some more for the uniballs.

    Hmmm...

    I can't decide between 255/85 KM2's or 285/75 MT/R's for my next tire.

    Go with the 285's, you won't regret it. I was set on 255's for quite a while and am really glad I ended up getting the 285's, they look so much better if you have a plate bumper. For them to look good, IMO, with a plate bumper eveything has to look just right but the 285's go with anything.

    Are you going to be at the Steven event? What I would really like to do is test fit some 285's. (although my wheel will push them about a 0.5'' more if I got them)
