    Hey everyone,
    Looking for some advice before I pull the trigger on new tires. I'm considering running 285/75/17 Nitto Recon Grapplers on my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I already have RRW RR7s (17x8.5, 0 offset) and upgraded to JBA High Caster Upper Control Arms.

    I’m trying to figure out if I’m going to run into any rubbing issues—specifically on the UCAs or anywhere else under full lock, compression, or articulation. I know 285/75/17s are a taller setup (~33.86"), so I want to make sure they’ll clear the upper control arm.
    Other suspension details:

    • Bilstein 6112s up front (currently at notch 5 driver / 4 passenger)
    • C4 Fab hybrid front bumper
    • Running stock UCAs before, switched to JBA STD High Caster UCAs
    I mostly do mild to moderate off-roading and trail work, so I want to avoid rubbing under flex or during turns on uneven terrain. Would love to hear from anyone running 285/75/17s on a similar setup or with RR7 wheels and JBA UCAs. Any feedback or pics appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    At 0 offset, you shouldn't rub the UCA but with high caster UCA's you will rub the cab mount without a relocate or chop.
