Default MethodWheel on KO2's - 255/70-16.

Not going to lift it but the tires hits the front mudflap and had to trim it. I got lucky it sits flush cause I was going to do 265's. Next is to find suspension without any lifts.

You could add some 1inch coil spacers for added clearance. Not what I'd call a "lift" as 1inch on the original springs = counteracts the saggy coil springs

Clearance from the ground?

The tires were hitting the mud flaps when it was fully turned.

Ah if they're hitting at full lock you can adjust your steering stops to try and help it. It's probably due to the back spacing of the wheels vs the OEM wheels. However if you were to raise it 1inch it could indeed help to move the widest part of the tire down below the flap. 255/70R16 is a 30inch tire so yeah it's not huge, but the OEM size was 255/65R16 = one inch smaller.

It's hitting somewhere when entering a driveway - I haven't figured out where yet but might have to lift it after all.

I believe those rims are wider then stock.
Oem wheels are 7? Those methods are 8” aren’t they?

At full turn the outside of the rim could be hitting the inside of your mud flap. The side steps may enclose that space further. 1” coil spacers may be your easiest way. And they’d looks as good as those wheels

Are these the 701's? They look great! Thinking i'm gonna get the matte black ones.
It's a shame more manufacturers don't make wheels for our pattern. I would love some of the new steelies that fifteen52 released recently.

It takes my D2 at least 3 lanes to do a u-turn now - I couldnt imaging making that worse
I've never driven a vehicle with such a terrible turning radius....... (off topic, sorry )
