What wheels did you go with?

What wheels did you go with?

US Wheel. Made in California 15x7. They came powdercoated

What backspacing? Any rubbing?

What backspacing? Any rubbing?

0 offset. 7" wheel. So it's a 3.5" backspacing. Rubbing at full flex without the swaybar. No rubbing while turning lock to lock. Drove it 6 miles to the hardware store for my next project. Rides good.

Are you lifted?

1.5" shackle in the front, 1" rear

Here's mine and my parents. Theirs is stock. They just took delivery of it today

33s look so small

I disagree. They barely fit. Any articulation and they rub.

Yj springs, and associated hardware, are in your future. I can see it now!

Is it a lift issue or a spacing issue? I'm considering 33x10s with a negative offset to push away from the engine bay more. I guess a better question is where are you rubbing?

 

[Colderweather86]

Both. I'm rubbing on the fender support brackets at the top of the fender. Once the springs are in, I'll adjust fire on spacing if needed

Haha, you're the one that told me about the yj springs and max A's thread. I think I'm up to speed with what's going on here now. I followed you on Instagram today.

Be warned; if you watch any of my videos with the sound on, I'm kind of retarded and sometimes spend months in the woods/mountains wheeling with my dog. My commentary is borderline insane

Do you think a 1" narrower tire would prevent wheel rub? I'm now looking at some 33x9.50s that would fit well on stock wheels

 

[Colderweather86]

It's the diameter of the tire that is causing the rubbing.

Right on. Haven't turned my head that far just yet. Feeling a little overwhelmed thinking about all the shenanigans that are about to ensue under the hood.

Do you know how much your alloys wheels weigh? Wondering if there's much weight savings from stock steelies

 

[Colderweather86]

I don't have alloys. They're steel

Clearly, I learned to read in a cornfield

I am running 285/75R16 on mine, which are a little wider than yours, with the Rough Country leveling lift. I installed 1.5" wheel spacers to avoid rubbing issues. This might be an option for you. I haven't had any problems with this setup.
