285/70/17 ome lift

Hello hello,

I have and 08 with an old man emu 2.5 lift. I also have a ARB front bumper, I just got some nice BFG ko2 285/70/17 and there is some rubbing. Think the weight of the front might hurt, should I look into spacers to lift it?
Will be in Moab April 20-25
Let me know if you can make it

 

Welcome!

I have a similar setup and added 3/8" spacers, plus the 1/4" drivers side spacer for the taco lean. I only have a very small amount of rubbing when the wheel is turned.

 

Hi guys. I see you saw about adding a spacer. How much can you tell and how much would u recommend it for that lean everyone is talking about. I'm about to order my Bilstein 5100 and ome885 from head strong

 

I got the set up I said. Now looking for tires. 285/70/17 on stock rims require cutting?

 

I'm leaning towards some coopers since info no off roading but like aggressive look

 

Maybe some 275/70/17 but idk if that would run too. I'm running the ome 885x and bilsteins 5100

 

I just went out this week and cut a bit of my front tires on my ARB bumper, now I need to cut that and the fenders. I need to find help with that.

 

Will need off-set rims

 

or stock wheels with wheel spacers

 

The three guys I talked to said no to spacers, got my rims at discount for $100 each think they are -6mm

 

What do you mean no

 

They don't like spacers, didn't really get into an explanation.

 

Spacers like Spidertrax and Bora are fine , lots of guys running them on here
