Re: Front Tire issues??

frame or fender rub?

On stock axle you have to watch out on backspacing and tire size, maybe try some spacers on wheels

You should have no problem.

I'm running 31x10.5 on 7' rims and the left front just kisses the steering link.

Also running 235/75R15's on 8" rims, no problem.

Just for grins 265/70R 16's on 7" rims ( NAPCO ) no problem.

Re: Front Tire issues??

My apologies,
I should have specified. Getting ready to purchase wheels and tires and wanted to know if there will be problems with my tire & wheel size choice.
