clearance question real quick

alright so my kumho kl78's just came in yesterday. im to have them installed tomorrow morning. There going on the stock rim. my t keys are like stuck i couldnt get themto turn when i tried errlier tonite do you think it will be ok to run those 305/70-16's until i can level it or do i need to get up early and do my best to get them cranked? cause i dont wanna trim since i wont need them trimmed when i level it. id be dissapointed if they didn't rub but iwanna kno if there is a possibi.ity to tear anything up?

i heard they might be easier to crank with the front jacked up? t/f?


Thanks

They will not rub using the OEM wheels. The only time you will need to trim is if you ever go to a 16x10 inch aftermarket wheel (or maybe a 16x8 with shallow backspacing).

Thanks wandell...i couldnt get the info in time tho. Guy was 100% sure i needed to crank them so he did and i have like 2 or 3 inches clearance(when im turning tthe wheel between tire/lower valance) so i figured i didn't have to but now gotta pay for alignment didn't really wanna at the moment but it looks better leveled anyway. He also told me to stack another 1" block on the factory block and it wouldn't hurt ne thing.....stacking blocks is a NO-NO right? He said you could on the factory blocks not more than one tho? cause the back might be a hair lower idk tho looks great to me! thanks

There are mixed opinions on stacking blocks. A lot of suspension lift kits come with rear lift blocks to stack on top of the OEM blocks. If you are uncomfortable doing that, just buy a 3 inch block.
