He couldn't even set the fender on with the 17" wheel let alone try and turn it. :BangHead:
He borrowed one of those backspacing measuring tools and bought some 235/40R18 tires. Same Nitto's you are talking about. Then we just swung the whole thing back and forth using whatever we could grab on the front suspension, he doesn't have a column in his car either. Found a pretty good interference with the US Cartools inner fender to firewall brace, he is going to have to notch those for tire clearance.
Make sure you are able to cycle the suspension up and down while you turn it lock to lock and check for clearances. I know the tire can clear the fender while at ride height and full lock both ways, but if you ever stuff the tire all the way up into the fender with it turned (like when turning into a store off the street), the tire can catch the fender and wreck havoc with your sheetmetal and paint. We wouldn't have seen the issue with the brace if we hadn't had the suspension fully compressed on my brother's car.
