275/70/17 on stock Sport Wheels ?

Yikes ! That's a lot.
I'd try to sweeten the deal with some fresh moose meat or some caribou.

Have you considered a delivery point in northern WA ?
I know that in the Northeast that is commonly done at general stores, feed stores etc near the border.

 

I'm not suprised .

It's about the same price as 255/75/17 Hankook ATm's and $30/tire less than 255/80/17 km2's .

It would cost me over $200 in gas and ferry fares , to get to the border .

It is what it is .

 

I got mine for about $1100 for a set of 4 plus $80 rebate and then $40 for military on top. Tirerack.com had them. All other places were manufacturer backorder. I got Load E 275/75R/17.

Very little rubbing with a 3in lift in front with my mudflaps on, no issues.

 

Here is a picture of the DS UCA. Obvious where it rubs. This is the only spot.

 

Do you think if you added 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacers you would miss the UCA?

 

How much caster do those UCA's add ?

 

I think it would actually. I also beleive another brand of tire would not hit it. BUt really its rubber on heavy guage metal, it aint going to do any damage.

They are stock UCAs so I have no idea. DS (drivers side).

 

Lol

My bad , I was thinking " DSM has their own UCA's ? "

 

I have a 3" toytec lift and have 285/70R17's, they only rub in the front if you turn super sharp. Might cut the nub down so there wont be any rubbing.

 

You also dont have mudflaps though. Those have to go when getting into 285s.

Do you mind posting a pic of the inside of the tire closest to the upper balljoint. Curious to see just how close the clearance is.

 

We are talking about 275s in here. Plenty of info on 285s elsewhere. Nice looking setup though

 

He has 1.5" spacers so it wont be close

 

Not interested in 285's

 

Ah, seen. All but too late.

 

OZ sorry for the delayed response.. Yes I was. But I can honestly say I didn't do any hardcore off roading to fully test it.

 

Mine rub in the same spot. Not much at all, probably even less than yours.

 

No worries .

I'm not a hardcore wheeler , but I drive a lot of gravel roads and would rather keep the fronts on if possible .

 

You don't even have to do this...my BFG MT's fit. Oh yeah...I run this size and I'm not poor. :what:

 

just got my lift in - adj 5100 up front, 2 in steel blocks in the rear, and LR UCAs. this thread has help me decide on the 275 70r17s, will put up pics as soon as it all gets put on. gonna be a little while though till i can. on a side note what are yalls thoughts on the cooper discoverer s/t's? found a place online for 150 a tire in the 275 70r17 size.

 

I think you should tell us what the name of this place is
