    This is true sir, I can drop it without really any rub now but the oil pan scraps and i need spacers in the rear forsure and the will rub,So if i go with a slightly less wide tire i should be tiits

    4. then wheel bearing all around been quoted $400 bucks for all four because they are press in.
