The Jimmy got some new shoes! Rocking the original Rallys wrapped in 33x10.5R15 BFG KO3s.

Took me longer than I'd like to get them compressed down to a size that CK5 would accept, but here are the photos! Also added 2 inch spacers in the rear so it doesn't look like shaved poodle anymore, haha!

Ackerman angle is why the rear wheels are in more than the front.

Not quite. Ackerman is the steering geometry that causes the inside tire to turn sharper than the outside.
I think, but not sure, the track widths were staggered so the tires were not in the same exact rut/groove of the road.

Thats what I was alluding to. I think you are correct.

Unless you are running bicycle tires, they are in the same rut.
