Just mounted up!

255/85/R16 cooper discoverer ST Maxx

stoked!

im on Falcon sport level suspension with Camburg UCA’s

Correction…..i do have some rubbing so i’ll be moving my falcon shocks to the top setting for a little more clearance. Hopefully that solves it.
Its possible my wheel spacers are causing the rubbing so i may take em off and see if it still happens

 

Where are you rubbing?

 

At full lockturning right, i rub here:

at full lock turning left, i rub here:

so im hoping once i adjust my shocks in front to top setting, it’ll clear. But when i have that done, im just going to have them do a cab mount chop and im going to massage the front fender liner with my heat gun and that should fix that one.
It only rubs on bumps in lock. When turn on smooth road slowly it doesnt rub.
Super annoying but itll get dealt with soon so its whatever

 

I’m not an expert but changing the ride height likely won’t help. Your UCAs may need adjusted. With your spacers what’s your effective offset? That’s probably a factor as well if you’re in the negative.

 

yeah i think it could be my spacers. Im going to try that first.

 

I was gonna say, lifting it higher won’t help you clear your tires. Unless you plan to never cycle your suspension.

 

100% it’s your spacers. It pushes your wheel out. I’m running sema wheels (+4mm offset) and no rubbing even on stock mudflaps at full stuff.

 

i wont be doing the kind of driving youre doing at any rate. I dont offroad unless you consider dirt roads offroading. I did that shit in my teens when i didnt care about my truck

 

I do care about my truck

There were couple time though when I
Should have turned around and went home. Oh well, lesson learned…

 

We refer to those as “Kootenay Pinstripes.” Adds character…..

 

I hear you. Those weren’t a big deal, a bit annoying but whatever. The bumper though… Well and some water crossings…

 

Love my 255’s

 

Looks great!


Love my 255s!

 

i took off my spacers and yessir, that was it. No rubbing. As a precaution i used my heat gun to reshape my fenderwell liners, and took my grinder to my cab mount corners and took 1/4” off, then painted em with rustoleum. At some point I’ll just get a cab mount chop so its sealed up on that corner which looks alot cleaner, but for now at least there’s no way it’ll rub. Very happy now- rubbing is a god awful sound! Lol

 

Loving these new shoes!!!

What size were your spacers? I am looking to go 255/80r17 with a +0mm offset wheel and 2" lift, but don't want to chop the CMCs yet.

 

i had 1” spacers but removed them when i out on my new 255/85/16s. They caused me to rub.

 

Have you still been loving them coopers? And were you able to squeeze that spare underneath with a little hammer work? This is the exact same setup I’m wanting to run myself. I’m just hoping to squeeze 40k out of them with the cost. They look great

 

TRD Lift kit, faux beadlocks (10 mm offset) and running LT255/85/16 Toyo MT.
Dealer did the lift and the tires/wheels and they appear to know their stuff. [update: no rubbing, on or off road]
