265/75/16 on 16x8.5 Wheel Rubbing =/

Well, I think I derp'd up.. I have the turning radius of an extended school bus now

Running on stock suspension with now Wildpeak AT3W 265/75/16, have lined up 5100's all around with a 3 AAL (expected sometime next week more than likely). What should I do in the mean time? Never found myself in this situation and kind of feel like a deer in headlights..

 

Where's it rubbing? Could be a simple as a zip knife on the inside of the front bottom portion of the fender flare.

 

Hey, thanks for the reply! I believe they are rubbing here:




I can put my fingers in between, but can imagine on slopes while turned it rubs here.

 

Damn, looks like the cab mount is being rubbed!

 

Yeah, don't think I want to cut into that haha

So maybe I just wait for my stuff and drive really carefully until then. I read on here 265/75/16s would have worked so I went for it, then I looked back and said with certain rim sizes.. Pays to read haha

 

Yeah, it does have a lot to do with the width of the wheel & offset/backspacing.

They look good tho!

 

Thanks for the help Hopefully get all my parts in by next Friday and maybe have a buddy help me install it Saturday.

Going with 5100's all around, HS 3 AAL and planning on adding coils later down the road (short road)

 

Nice nice. I need to revamp my front suspension at some point.

 

Out of curiosity would adding a 2" lift fix the problem you think?

 

I would imagine so!​

 

Okay, suspension rookie reporting in, thanks for the info again haha!

 

No worries Man! I learn something on here every single day.

 

I just got back from the tire shop getting mine changed out. Goodyear 265/75/16 Duratracs and FN countersreer Off-roads. Mine not as close as yours. Maybe just some minor trimming.

 

I have 884s/5100s in the front with 265s on 8.5” wheels and I rub just slightly in the front when turning really sharp. Pretty sure it’s related to the stock ucas keeping my alignment numbers from being kosher. Spc’s are sitting at the house though.

 

Alright cool deal! I was looking at upgrading my UCA's in the very near future. How do you like your 884's? I'ts a toss between 884 or 885 for me..

Was looking at these UCA's tho: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/s...g)_Ball_Joint_Upper_Control_Arms_-_25470.html

 

The 884s are perfect for someone looking to stay with 265s. They are the same spring rate as 885s/887s so the ride is the same.
And those are the ucas I have waiting to be installed.

 

Awesome, I plan on doing the UCA's shortly down the road, but want to get by with stock for a short while longer so I can save up for both UCA & coils and be done (hopefully)

 

Headstrong sells a 2” coil that is comparable to the 884. They are powder coated gray. No UCA’s required. Check out my review thread.

When you say 2 inches are you rounding that number up from the amount it would take to level out your truck in the front?

 

Sweet! I'll take a look at this

Meant 1.75" front and 2.0" rear, sorry I glanced over that!
