P500 To trim or not to trim

[Jevin]

After putting on new tires, I’m real close to the frame. This is a full lock. The tires do clear but I don’t know what it will be like when under stress. I just don’t want to ruin my tires as they are new. Does this look like I’m need a frame trim? Thanks

Which tires?

Put some ass on the front of the machine to compress the suspension and take a look.

Which tires?DNA Dirt diggers 27x10x12 with 1 inch spacer on stock rims.

Yeah, I was by myself trying to look under and hold the wheel. Lol

I had no issues with 27s, but they were 27x14x9. Close but no rub. Anyway to get a ratchet strap to compress it? But if it were me and I thought it might hit, I would sawzall the corner back and never worry about it again.

Just got back from checking with my wife in the seat. I still have 1/4 of clearance at full lock while parked. I will keep an eye on it tomorrow when we go out. Think I should be good.

Got 27x12 all the way around on stock system and have no trouble.

Mtclimber500, whose 27x12x12's are you using? Like 'em? Thanks.

I’m using Coyotes. Really like the tread. Got mine from dealer but you can get a real good price from Amazon. I ordered one from them for my spare.

Park across a rut to help compress the suspension. You won't ruin a tire if it rubs 'some', they live a rough life.
