As you can tell, its a little close on my truck too.



Luckily that distance never changes. I may have a quarter inch in there. Running Weld Velociti wheels though, not factory wheels. 30K happy miles. I would get a 1/4" wheel spacer to go between the wheel and the hub to space it out a bit.

 

ya know ive been asking about wheel spacers now for awhile, i didnt get any info on anyone actually running spacers, my plan is to lose the mm951's with 4.5" backspacing, for rims with 5.5-6.0" backspacing, to bring it back in a bit, with my rcd lift kit, the front track width increased, so i wanted to put about a 1/2" spacer for the rear wheels to even it out, so has anyone put on spacers from 1/4 to 1/2"?

i hate my mm951's with crazy backspacing, and the 35" buzzsaw nitto mud grapplers, anyone think i can sell this combo on ebay? i wanna get terra grapplers, i mean my truck has literally never been in the mud since the grapplers went on so whats the point of em... i have 5 wheel/tires for full size spare and rotation purposes

sorry for the hijack

 

Yeah..I feel your pain. I had 325/60/18 Mickey T. A/T's and they rubbed in the same place. I was worried about putting that wide tire on my factory rims though so I mounted them on a set of Weld's. End the end I had the same problem.





I wound up selling the whole set and buying these BFG 305/65/18. It's a better tire IMO and also taller. I realize it's more expensive but some times you have to bite the bullet.

 

What about 285/60/18's? I got a deal on 4 of them like new for $150.00. I was going to run those on my factory rims for the winter.

 

Riddoch, Do you have a leveling kit on yours. If so what size, and do you have any tire rubbing issue?

I am considering those BFG's or more likely the Toyo AT 285/75/18. but i really like the Nitto TG's (but would have to go to the 33's -325/60, If they are not also too wide)

 

I have 35X12.5 BFG Mud Terrains on my factory 18" rims that I run in the winter. They only rub a little on the frame and upper control arm at full lock, definately driveable though. If you don't want the aggressive mud tires, I'm pretty sure that BFG just came out with an all-terrain in the same size. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Pics are in my gallery if you are interested.

 

Nope, no leveling kit. I have the 2" AS sitting around uninstalled. I'm just too cheap to pay someone $180 to put it on. Anyone in the ATL area wanna give me a hand with that? The tires rub a little at full lock on the lower control arm but not enough to worry about. I've heard they don't rub with the leveling kit on though.
