For you guys who have installed 265x75 tires on the stock rims, what do you think my issues would be putting a 33x10.5 R15 on the Roxor? This 33-inch tire is 0.1 inches wider (vs 10.4") and 0.9 inches taller (32.5 vs 31.6 diameter, radius only 0.45" bigger). On a 8" wide rim (Mickey Thompson Classic III, 15x8, 5 on 5.5", backspace 3 5/8"), I think it would be further from the leaf springs compared to the 7" wide stock rim. The stock bumpers would be gone -- no rubbing there. Once an aftermarket company releases a modest 2" spring & shock lift, do you think there would be any issues with this size?

I'd love to hear from the Roxor pioneers! @Doshounds @Jimmyb @Pdphilson @WoodLot @BigDaddy @toolsinaction @motozoo1

Talk to Wyatt at on the rox. They have the same size on their black roxor I think. No problems with just the bumper mod from what I remember and the little bit of scrubbing with extreme articulation was done away with by adding their shackle reversal mod.

I have the 265/75/16 tires with the OTR Shackle Reversal kit. There is no rubbing or scrubbing at all.

Tires and wheels are next on my list but I have to be honest I have no clue where to start..

I just mounted 235X85-16s (31.7in ht. & 9.3in wide) on my Roxor, which has a 2in lift in back about 3.5 in front. I am using stock rims and rubbing on rod ends for extended turns. I do have the turn bolt limiter turned all the way in. Still trying to sort out an answer to the rubbing issue. Bolt on spacers (2in) should be here tomorrow--- hopefully that works out.
If not, I will need to change out stock rims for aftermarket with better off-set spacing. I was going for a fairly narrow width and 32--33in ht. tires--so not working out-- yet.

I ordered the same size tires and they’ll be here this week. Did the spacers solve your running problem? I already have 1 1/2” spacers on mine. Also, what tire did you go with?

the spacers worked out well. It also looks great since the tires are pushed out and now line up with the edge of the fender. My tires are Cooper discoverer STT Pros. Nice tires, work well off road.
