I also bought a set of Nitto 420s 305/40/22 but the stretch on the rims is sketchy to say the least. I have the 5100 Bistein leveling kit installed at 2.8. I'm not sure if i should wait out the back order on the Pirelli Zeros 335/35/22 or do a small lift and keep the Trail Grapplers. Guess I'm asking for opinions on what do. Any ideas would help.

^ I was just typing the same question haha
By the looks it’s looking like the front lip.

My recommendation would be to add a 6” Zone lift with 3” rear coils. And lower the Bilsteins down

@Cole Dandrea American forces are true directional so the spokes should face the same way. 2 of them angle one direction and 2 angle the other for left and right sides. You have opposites on the passenger side.

I didn't know that thanks! I was just test fitting to see where i would be rubbing, and yes it is the fender where i am rubbing. I was looking at the 6' zone lifts but i think I'm going to run the Pirelli PZero tire this year and go with the lift next year. Im trying to budget myself lol. How low would you lower the Bilsteins if i did the 3' rear coils?

That depends on your measurements now. The back will go up 3" the front will go up 5" simple math. If you go that route post your measurements and I will do the math for you. Glad I could help on the directional wheels :)

If you do your own work you could install a body lift and get clearance. Not sure if 1.5 or 3” would help you clear but it’d be a good cost effective way to stop the rubbing!

The body lift would only cost you several hundred dollars if you install yourself.

PS I love the wheels. A little more aggressive width/offset than I’d run but I like the Forces.

Do you have a scale, I’m curious what one wheel/tire weighs? Looks mean but also ridiculous, you’d need a huge lift so I’d either cut some metal to fit and/or drop some tire width at current height.
