Its alive.... Its Alive...
to revive this old tread, im just NOW getting to new tires... and if swtichfoot is still around, he said
I just would like to clarify Switchfoot, or to check to see if i understand correctly. Switchfoot says that I need LESS backspacing thereby moving the tires out, away from the chassis. I am pretty sure this would cause more rubbing, as I "think" they are too far out now. I just want to make sure. see my two photos, ....

I'm running 315/70-17s and they don't rub while turning at all. My rims are Helo Guns (a bit blingy yes) 17"x9", 6 mm offset and 5.25" backspacing.
