305/70r16 on 21 DCLB

Howdy,

I'm pretty new to forum things and I'm a new owner of a 2021 DCLB Off-Road. We recently lifted the truck with 3 inches stage 2 Icon with add a leaf and got newer UCAs. Right after that, I forgot I had some nice Methods with ko2s in the garage and decided to add them to the truck. They're 305/70r16 and it's not bad to drive but my steering wheel vibrates, when I turn it rubs on the cab mount, I think I need to get more plastic trimmed on the front and it pulls really hard to the right. But I'm scared that I have to do more than just that. After reading on these forums for a while, it seems like this size is a little uncommon.

So I guess if there's anyone out there who has a 3rd gen with 305s can I ask what y'all did to not cause so much drama up on the front end?

Again if I'm beating a dead horse please let me know or if someone can provide me the right avenue to go down I would really appreciate it!

Attached below is my truck. I think it looks great despite all the minor problems it's having haha

 

I hope to be at a stage in my life some day where I forget I have methods hanging out in the garage, sweet truck OP.

As for the tire size, man those are pretty big on a mid size truck, if it were me i'd just go down to 285s instead of trying to fight the truck itself. Less hassle, and i think you'll end up happier.

 

Haha yeah, they were off my 80 series Land Cruiser. I had taken them off and sold the truck. Life got in the way and I found them under a blanket.

I'm thinking, from what I read and your advice, I might have to go down to 285. Not a big deal, I just didn't wanna buy another set of tires. Thanks for the advice.

Now it's time to hunt down a good tire for these 16in Method 701s!

 

Would it be worthwhile to put the stock wheels and tires on until I get the 285s?

 

Without question, I would yes.
