...'til ya send it :biggrin:

As long as you don't pretend to be a PRO 4 driver and turn in mid air they're good under compression with the wheels straight. But the rubbing does just get worse the more the suspension is compressed with the wheels turned.

I went a little different rout on my wheels and tires. I put a set of 20 275 55 from a standard F150 on my Raptor. Each wheel/ tire weighed 26lbs lighter and run 1/2 the air pressure. On the road (99.5% of my driving) my Raptor rides smother, corners better and is quicker. My problem is that I can't find a programmer that supports the 2017 Raptor to adjust my speedometer. Has any body found a programmer to recalibrate the speedometer on the new Raptor?

Did you really drop from a 35 to less than a 32"?

I measured the stock wheels at 34.25 and the wheels I added at 32.25 a 2" difference. That reduced my ride height and center of gravity by 1" also making my speedometer a little over 7% off showing a higher speed than actual.

They were the 6 spoke gray color that matches my truck

Answer me one question. Do you think that bigger heavier tires make your truck faster or slower?

How about removing 100 lbs of unsprung weight, will the suspension work better or worse?
