Thanks Dennis. I am pretty sure they are 215-60's so if I were to go to say a 225-45-15 that might work? I hesitate to get TOO small of a tire for the front because I don't want the stance to be too much lower in the front but I may end up having to. I am pretty set I think on ditching the drop spindles. I think they are causing a lot if not all of the problem but it's hard to say for sure. Unfortunately, there is no deeper backspace available on the Torq Thrust II's.
