I know there has been a lot of questions around this tire size so I thought I'd share.
I upgraded from stock wheels running 275/70/18 ko2. I enjoyed the KO2, but I thought I'd try something different this time around. After my first trip with them I'll update u guys.
For suspension I have the following
1 x Pair SPC-25465 Upper Control Arm
2 x OME2722 Rear Coil Springs
2 x Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport 61029 Rear Shocks
2 x Old Man Emu Nitrocharger Sport 91005 Front Struts
2 x OME2702 Front Springs
Front / rear 1.25 spidertrax spacers.
RW wheels
Ridge grapplers 305/70/17
Driving off from the tire shop was a bit....challenging lol. I had some rubbing close to the front mudflap mounts and the front fender lining. The spare also doesn't fit under the truck, but I got a rear bumper coming soon so no issues.
So I went home and tried to bend it back a bit. It helped a little but it needed to be trimmed.
I did some trimming around the front mud flap mount area.
I had to remove 1 mudflat mounting screw and hammer the mount back a bit (it's not as bad as it sounds, I'll take photos after I clean up the area)
After trimming I was able to drive around town without too much problems. I still rub on the fender lining and something else while 3/4 going up a driveway or plaza entrance.
I haven't had a chance to do more than that today but I'll be working on the truck either tomorrow or next weekend.
# TODO:
- Heat the fender liner and flex it out for more clearance.
- Check the bumpstops if they need to be upgraded to larger ones for clearance
- KDSS relo bar from slee. It doesn't rub from what I can tell, but it's too close for comfort. I'd like to see more clearance for when I'm aired down
- Reversing still rubs the front fender lining so hopefully heating it up will fix it.
lmk if you have any questions. I've only had these for an afternoon so lots more to figure out in the days to come.
