Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I had to get a shorter tire because I couldnt use these on the front with the slosh tubz. I ended up changing to a 255 35 and now I dont have prooblems.

Seems like I said something like that. Ha

What most people don't realize,... you also have to be able to "turn" these wheels left and right,... INSIDE the fenders, because your new ride height is so low.
(you no longer turn thru the wheel opening)

Believe me,... you will feel the tire rubbing the "inside of the fender" if you turn too far.
