Just installed eibachs on my 2018. I did notice my tires are way too close to UCA. Is this normal? Will alignment fix this issue? Cant exactly remember how stock setup looked like.

By the way i have general grabber AT 315/70/17

It has to be due to factory offset wheels. I know you can’t install an aftermarket UCA with factory offset. I have 0 offset rims, no issues . I have no idea if an alignment will help.

I had my stock wheels and tires for a couple of weeks after I put the springs on. I have a 19 and I know getting the UCA ball joint back into the spindle was a bear and the UCA would naturally be in a lower orientation relative to the tire with the longer spring. I guess I didn’t bother to look at how close it was….. but yes I think it’s normal after installing a longer spring .I do t think the UCA position can come any closer to the tire and wheel throughout its range of motion …. Keeping in mind I’m no expert.
