Un-Modifying my Truck

[UWdave]

Just bought a 2023 Platinum w/ 27k on it.

Previous owner installed:
- 2" front lift (~1" puck above the shock/spring)
- ~1.5" wheel spacers
- 305/45R22 Nitto MT's

I plan on removing the lift ASAP as I don't like the axle angle and the extra lift on acceleration.

Will the wider tires rub without the lift?

Once removed I'll check clearance without spacers, I just didn't want to go through the hassle of lift removal before knowing. I'd like to run the tires through summer.

They really should outlaw wheel spacers. I would remove them and see if the wheels fit when de modded. The tires are actually a smaller diameter than stock but over an inch wider. If your rims are offset that will also make a difference(not sure if you are on stock rims).

Tire calc I did shows the height difference is nothing/trivial:
275/50R22 - 32.8" radius / 103.1" circum. / 10.8" wide
305/45R22 - 32.8" radius / 103.0" circum. / 12.0" wide

So the tire will be ~0.6" closer to the shock and fender while turning.

Stock wheel, not a fan of big wheels. Will consider dropping down to 18" when I replace the tires.

You'll have to check the clearance. I found last year when I installed some new rims with a positive offset that the clearance to the fender was reduced quite a bit while turning. I'm on 275/60r20. The 20s are great.

Why there is nothing wrong with them at all especially Hubcentric spacers.
