nhill, thanks for the input. My toyota has wheel stops in both sides of the factory knuckle, so I know what you're speaking of. The turning radius isn't very impressive to begin with so I'm not really worried about it. Thanks for the $.02 though!

not a problem, i am going to do it just so that i can turn as far as possible before rubbing because most of the time i find myself guessing


i wish i would have done it several months ago since it has torn up the inside lugs of my swampers a bit

I have 38 15.50 18 toyo's on my SD and it rubs a little bit on the leafs at full crank. More on the left than the right. I run 2 inch billet spacers on my toyota offroader to clear 38 swampers and have never had a problem with them but it is a much smaller vehicle.
I too would love to fix this issue without new wheels but its not that bad if you don't try to turn too tight.
