Will there be any clearance issues from suspension or steering components with the wider tire? True, it's only an extra 10mm inboard from stock, but I want to make sure. Thanks in advance for any help!
No problems with the suspension clearance .It will just cause a bit more body roll as the wheel is only 7.5" and really more suitable for a 235 tyre!
