If you have spaced drums on the front you could try flat drums?
That will move the wheels inwards a bit.

hey dude, that is really strange, I run the same wheels as you with 65 series rubber and the same flares etc, and don't have a problem...

I rekon this has to do with those springs you put in, instead of the donuts or something.. they are causing you more and more grief...

I'd like to see what others think it is,, but as I said doesen't sound great Jarred..

Good Luck mate :wink:

Then put it back to factory camber and castor and work from there and use the Hi-Lo's for ride only.

Also you only need 26psi front and 24psi rear

Obviously the wheels are pretty fat 12s. What are they? I know 12 x 5 superlites with 165 / 65 / 12 tyres can rub, I used to have some of them.

That's whats recommended, I,ve gone up to 29psi front and 27psi rear because of my stupid gas shocks, oil ones would be much better

That is for a 10inch, he's running 12inch , I,m just saying drop the psi to 10inch standard , adjust the camber and castor back to standard and work it back from there, then when its right bring the psi up to 12inch standard 32psi front 30psi back
