After putting on new tires, I’m real close to the frame. This is a full lock. The tires do clear but I don’t know what it will be like when under stress. I just don’t want to ruin my tires as they are new. Does this look like I’m need a frame trim? Thanks

I had no issues with 27s, but they were 27x14x9. Close but no rub. Anyway to get a ratchet strap to compress it? But if it were me and I thought it might hit, I would sawzall the corner back and never worry about it again.

I’m using Coyotes. Really like the tread. Got mine from dealer but you can get a real good price from Amazon. I ordered one from them for my spare.

Park across a rut to help compress the suspension. You won't ruin a tire if it rubs 'some', they live a rough life.
