I have King 2.5 front coilovers installed and added 1" preload. i have Method 305 wheels. Front left (driver side) rubs when turned fully to the left. passenger side doesn't rub. I've seen several threads where people have these tires and work fine. Ride height is pretty much the same all the way around. any thoughts or recos?

I'd look at the fender liner, you'll see scuff marks where the tire is rubbing. What is the offset of the rim?

the offset is -12, I believe. others seem to be fine, even with stock suspension. the odd thing is the passenger side doesn't rub

Do you have drivers side lean? I did when fuel tank is full and had to dial in a little more pre-load into coilover which corrected drivers side rubbing.

It's not the brand of the tire that causes the rubbing. You need to get out and see what it is rubbing on. Remove that and it won't rub anymore.

I saw some posts relating to alignment (caster, camber) being issue....how can I tell if shop didn't align correctly?
