while looking to get new tires i picked the LT285/75-16 KUMHO ROAD VENTURE MT KL71. now after second guessing this decision multiple times i believe that this size will be too big for my VX with stock ride height. i noticed that theres a difference between the space between the front of my tires and the wheel well / bumper. right now i have a set of 245/75/16's on and the drivers side has a gap of 1 3/4" while the other side only has 1 1/2".

i dont know how or why this iz an issue but i need to know what can be done about it to make both sides even. can this be fixed with an alignment or am i looking at a serious problem?

and what will be the widest tires i can go with on stock height? i understand that i can trim a bit off from the front cladding to accommodate for clearance and that wont be a problem as long as i can finally settle on the right width and height of the tires i need to get. i can possibly do the torsion crank trick to get a bit more height if needed, i would like the front and rear to be at the same height.. so how much lift will i need to make that happen?
