Default Any 275/40-18 guys up front???

I'm getting some rubba dub dub action up front with the 275/40's. It's not that serious but you can hear it on a hard turn.

What's needed to eliminate?

You can adjust the steering stops to prevent the rubbing i think.....assuming its on the inside fender well. I am not totally sure how, you can find the pages in the workshop manual which is in the stickies.

It's not that "bad" but you can definitely hear/feel it under a hard turn. I'll look into those streering stops.. thanks Matt!

Matt, is that the part number required when you go from the stock 17's to the optional OEM 18's? I thought I recalled reading something that required a Ford part if you upgraded AFTER the factory...

I was looking into that when I went wider in the back...
I wanted to go 10" as well up front but the rim touched the LCA, even with a 1/4 spacer!
I dropped the idea but I can't help to think how much of the steering radius I would have lost.
If anything, our cars need more lol.

Rub, you might want to think about radius stuff...
A little restrain could be a PITA.
