[rant] Jeezus people - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UNDERSTAND? If you go 0.1" taller in tire, your effective gearing is reduced and there are performance compromises. In other words, if you go ANY larger, you need to regear to keep the same performance - PERIOD....

have you adjusted the coilovers ?

Hey Josh, I tried emailing you back but your lausd email has a really tough anti spam system and keeps returning my emails... When I get home i'll just pm you the reply to the the email.

Those are 33" tires. You either need to do some fender trimming or crank up the lift and run lower backspacing. Clearancing the fenders is the name of the game when it comes to running larger tires. You can run those tires with no rubbing, but you have to pound down the fender wells and for some with the 05+ models, you will have to cut and mod the body mount.

But on the drive out to Aftershock, when we went through the dunes to get to the trailhead in 2wd forward progress came to a quick halt in my truck and I had to...

If you go beyond the 32's you are running, with only a 2.5 " lift you will experience issues with a 33" or more size tire, unless your are only mall crawling. There are fixes, but the projects to do it right are true mods!

ya- you cant say any curse words or else it denies you Lol Wash your mouth out first!

The hubs really only for alignment of the wheel so it don't vibe. Lugs should hold it in place once tight.
