Upper control arms close to tire after lift

so I just installed the front of my OME list with 883s with the SPC adjustable UCAs. The tires are so close to the UCAs. Any idea what I did wrong?

 

wheel backspacing. Too much...

 

I went from OEM wheels to OEM wheels. I thought they all had the same backspacing?

 

You need lower offset wheels.

 

Those aren't 1st gen OEM wheels... 2nd/3rd gen wheels have different backspacing.

They get closer when the suspension droops...

 

3rd gen Tacos have even more backspacing than 1st/2nd gen, or that's what I believe I've read in the past. Like it was stated above, you should be fine.

 

Not necessarily.

Since the top of the spindle tilts inward when the suspension droops, it could very well hit when it's that close at ride height.

@jeg0005 to know for sure I would put it up on jacks and let the suspension fully droop. Then turn the wheels lock to lock and check for interference.

 

I swear I saw in a stickies thread that the two sets of wheels had the same dimensions. How do I fix?


EDIT: This is incorrect.

 

They are the same bolt pattern and diameter, but that's it.

see my above post to see if you need to fix. If you get contact, easiest fix is wheel spacers.

 

@F250orelse did you have this issue?

 

Also, can you get a pic form the front or rear? hard to really see how close those are.

 

Looks like @jbrandt was right. I though the hub bolts looked a bit short.

 

yeah, that's pretty close, but you might be okay. Assuming your tires don't wobble around...

Like I said, put it on some stands and let it fully droop to check for sure.

Lot of people run the 2nd/3rd gen wheels on their 1st gens but the back spacing puts them a lot closer to the frame. It all depends on your specific (tires/suspension, etc.) setup if it's an issue.

 

So how do I fix it? Spacers? Then I doubt I’ll have a Enough hub bolt to run the safely

 

I generally don't like spacers, but they are a decent budget fix, if needed. Spacers, except the very thin ones, have their own lugs. You bolt the spacer to the hub with flush mounted bolts, then mount the wheel to the spacer with the included lugs.

 

@Wheeler's Off-Road Inc you have any suggestions? Do I have the UCAs adjusted incorrectly?

 

Wait.

Have you gotten it aligned yet, since you installed all this?

If not, stop everything and get it aligned first. Then look at the clearance. Take it to a shop that does 4x4s and they should know how to properly adjust those UCAs.
