    Tires are 5 weeks young.

    I do hear and feel a light vibration regarding it rubbing at full lock (ie 3point turn).

    Here is the odd thing I only hear and feel a slight noise and vibration ONLY in reverse and ONLY on the left UCA. Yes it rubs on both pass and driver. :notsure:

    I plan to take the truck to get it aligned at a custom shop. Need to pull it back closer to the body mount.
    OR
    Very thin wheel spacer like 1/2in.

    In regards to handling.
    Feels fine, feels great off-road. but when I do get close to full lock (which I do frequently)
    I feel a gentle push back on the wheel kind of like it’s pushing itself away from full lock. (Which it does by stock tires. Just a little more so)

    My definition:
    Full Lock, when driver input steers all the way to one side and holds it. Where the steering knuckle is hitting the hard stops. (If driver lets go the wheel comes out of full lock)

    Yeah since I'm new to this world, I wasn't sure if the contact were experiencing was safe, normal, etc, so I played it safe and gave em back and had them order me the stock 265/65r/17.

    I have a have a bad feeling it's still going to rub at full lock tho. Those tires are just made extra wide or something.. but it'll be a little less tall so hopefully it passes just under the arm this time

    Idk if they make that small of a spacer do they?

    Not the height you should be concerned about. The height will affect your distance to the body mount.
    The width is your (and mine) issue touching the UCA.

    And yes if the manufacturer size is not exactly the same.

    But the. With a thin spacer you run the risk of not having enough threads on the lug nuts so you need longer wheel studs.

    I’m just going say fuck it and not turn as hard.

    Oh great. I should have just got the KO2s smh. I only found ONE video of a sport who had 265/70/17 and claimed there were no issues BUT he only discussed the wheel well and the difference is he had the KO2s and not the Wildpeaks like us. So maybe the KO2s are a bit slimmer and cause no interference

    I went wildpeak bc I saw they do good with snow and wet conditions. I'll try to remember to post a pic & video when I get mine on tho.

    I dislike KO2s. I’ve gone thru 2 sets they wear out fast and are piss poor in rain.
