18x9 rub UCAs???

Want to run 18x9 with a -12 fuel wheels with my 16 TRD Off Road. Got a 3 inch leveling right now but plan on getting a 4 inch suspension lift. My only concern is rubbing of the UCAs.... I’m wonder if anybody has done this and can tell me if they have ran into this problem before I spend all the money. Thanks in advance.
PS. Running stock wheels right now with 285/75/17 tires with 1.25 spidertrax spacers

 

Using a Maxtrac 4" Spindle lift with them should be fine.

 

What tire size you going with?

 

On a -12mm offset I don't think theres any way you'd be rubbing UCA. Its a very common spec for guys running 35x12.50's

 

275/70/18 prob. Cooper AT3 XLTs

 

Like relentlessfab said, there shouldn’t be any issues.

 

Even with my leveling? JW

 

Fuel 18x9 -12 with 275/65s, lifted 2.5” front & 2” rear:




Zero rubbing.

 

35's require a fair bit of other work, but for your uses with smaller tires any rubbing you see would just be a bit of plastic like the wheel well liner or mud flap. Easily remedied if you do encounter any.

 

Running 285/65-18 on Method 18x9 -12. No rubbing on the control arms. 3in lifted up front. Had to trim a bit off of the inside of the front bumper and just barely rubs the cab mount at full lock under compression.

 

Plan on running a 275/70/18

Here are a couple of photos of where my tires sit with a18x9+12. This is stock suspension and 31.5’s. With your lift and bigger tires I don’t see any issues. Your tires will be 3/4” taller and less than .5” wider.

 

I’m goin -12

 

Then you'd have an extra inch between the tire and UCA

 

That’s the point.
