    Planning on getting this wheel on the for sale section. 17x9 with 5" backspace. I would like to put a 285/70/17 tire. Would it rub my stock UCA? or spacers are needed?

    I have a 2.5" leveling kit at the moment anad planning on replacing with coilovers down the road.

    thanks guys.

    Yes, it will rub the UCA from what I know, so you would need wheel spacers.

    I think you should be fine but it might be close. I think if you add wheel spacers with 9" wide wheels it will make it worse when turning.

    thanks for the replies... so a wheel with 4.5" backspacing + 285/70/17 tire would not rub my stock UCA? correct?
    thanks!
