Hey Jazzer could the tall tires throw off the alignment with both the fronts and the rear. I am thinking the combo between the taller tires and the fact that they are cheapo's could be the cause of this.

Hey, Dennis

The tires will not throw the alignment off, but now thinking they may be incorrect size for wheels. I am thinking they may be too narrow? .

SilverGT... What are the width of the wheels and can you post some pics at different angles to see wear and fitment? I also never heard back if the issue is in back as well?

Pics.... we need PICS!

Yea posted earlier that the rear are wearing also. That size tire compared to a stock 245/45/17 would be a half inch taller, and a half inch more narrow.
