Curious if an x with forward arched arms turning radius is still better than the r’s turning radius? Anyone have a comparison?
I don’t have our X anymore but we did have forward aarms on it. I never measured the turning radius but I didn’t ever feel like it was a noticeable change in its turning radius as I drove it. Now on the Rs we the Hess steering racks without the stops and that has been a more noticeable improvement to the turning radius. I was happy with our forward aarms on the X.

My R has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier. 🤣 But if it helps with CV life (probably) I'm good with it.

Mash the throttle and it will turn as sharp as you want. 😁
Even better with it against a tree with some kickers and lotsa skinny pedal - 😎
I just put fwd arms from SATV on my X so i could fit 33's. The turning radius is not as good as before but still better than an R.

I have 1 1/2" forward arched SATV Arms on my 2023 X2 and my 32" x 11.5 TSL Swampers (mounted on Method 6+1 Bead Grip wheels) barely rub at full turn & Stuff (Both at the same time). IMHO 33"s will need to be skinny to have a chance of working.

The 11.5” wide is the bigger factor making yours rub. We have put 33s on an X (10” wide) with the SATV 1.5 forward aarms and had plenty of room. We could have even gone bigger without rub.
