Spidertrax around the bay area?

I installed new tires this weekend, and I can't squeeze my hand between the tire and UCA.

An alignment will probably help, but it is tight.

The closest I can find 2 pair are in Washington state, and I can't get them until Wednesday.

I tried 4WP with no luck. Any local suggestions (Sacramento to Monterey)?

Thought I was safe with Spidertrax and 275s. Nope, BMC in my very soon future.

There's mention that a +3.5 caster on the alignment will suffice and there would be no need for BMC. However, I haven't found a place that would be willing to do it. My lifetime Firestone alignment would ONLY align to "factory" specs no matter how much you ask/beg..

Seriously? I'm at Firestone too and those guys are great. They have +5 castor on my suspension right now and its great. Take your truck to this one.

Totally. Otherwise whats the point of a lifetime alignment when all it does is cause your tires to rub. Id go somewhere else. Your lifetime alignment is good at all Firestones. I have one too!
