    Couldn’t find this through searching so figured I would ask.


    Anyone running

    - 0 offset
    - 17 in
    - 315-70-17 tires AT or MT

    Are you rubbing on the control arm at lock?

    I’m at -12 offset now and I’m having regular rubbing issues at lock but wanted to see if anyone is hitting their control arm on 0 offset.

    Thanks in advance!

    It matters wheel width when talking offset. What you should be more concerned with is backspacing when talking about UCA clearance. For 315s, 4" of backspacing is what you're shooting for. And ideally an 8" wide wheel.

    My backspacing is 4.75 should be all good I’m assuming?

    No, the higher the number, the worse it is as far as clearing UCAs go. You want 4" or less. Bora makes a 0.75" spacers you could run to drop you down to 4" BS.

    Here's a good visual as to how it helps clear suspension components.

    The higher your backspacking, the closer to the suspension you wheel will sit.
