Are wheel spacers my only option here? Already got CMC

My current setup radflo clilovers, 285 tires, RRW 17x9 wheels, LSK upper arms.

So full lock, left and right I Got rubbage, tire contacts upper arm. I'm afraid when loaded up it will grab even harder on full lock.

Is my only option to run a wheel spacer to clear? But then if I do I see this rubbing on the front portion of the wheel liner, so should I trim it down?

Any other points you think I will contact?

Cab mount chop is already done.

Or should I say fuck it and only offroad going straight lol

I'm not big fan of spacers but if I need o clear everything up front I will run them

 

Spacers or different wheels. Either way when you move the tire out further with either of these methods it will put it closer to contacting other things you might have to trim. Shouldn't be too bad though if you throw some spacers on there, looks like you only need a little bit.

 

Wow those are 100% grass fed pure beef of UCA’s. If that’s full lock just on flat, I can only imagine under compression.

I agree, not the biggest fan of wheel spacers but as long as it’s quality(like BORA) and torqued regularly, you’ll be fine. Pushing the wheel/tires out will introduce rubbing at the bottom of the fenders, if I’m not mistaken

these are my wheels, I really like them and don't want to swap them as of now. but thanks for the advice

 

Spacers do put more strain on certain parts but you wouldn't really need too much to clear it looks like. I think if I were you I'd spacer it up. People seem to like the spidertrax ones as well.

 

Agree, im a big fan of boxed UCA's. Maybe @LSK has seen this upon install. The BS and tire combo are very common. I dont mind cutting welding. I can throw a shim but those scare me even more, and my studs barely have any grab now. So then i would have to get extended lugs, which I dont want to just yet lol

 

whats the shortest spacer I can run to clear the stock studs?

And anyone here just pulled the wheel liner or trimmed the front and have pictures? I can always pull it completey but I like having a clean engine bay lol

 

Yeah, hell no to shims lol. Sounds like wheel spacers are the way to go. BORA makes a variety of thicknesses starting from a mellow 3/4”. Easier to trim plastic than dealing with that hunk of metal

 

BORA’s 3/4” spacers include the lugs and nuts for mounting. Just make sure the back of your wheels have the voids for the stock lugs to protrude into

 

will definitely check them out... thank you

 

meaning, make sure the stock studs sit below the spacer to allow the wheel to sit flush up against the spacer?

 

If you go with a small spacer such as the 3/4,” the stock studs will protrude past the spacer when it’s mounted. That protrusion will interfere with the back of the wheels and will not allow it to sit flush up against the spacer. IF your wheels have gaps, the studs will simply sit in those gaps. Let me try to find a picture

 

I think I know what your referring to, and to my luck I believe these do not have pockets on the wheels

 

If you put on small spacers such as this, the studs stick out past the spacers.

 

Ah ok. I couldn’t find much pics of your wheels from the back, let alone a bunch of other wheels from the back lol. If you have the change just remove one to take a glance. Then you know you’d have to get something thicker than 1”

 

damn thats alot of trimming, and reaching a point a of no return if i get new wheels in the future

 

Are they the 0 or -12 offset ones?

 

i belive 0 they stick out past the fender but not extreme

Shit get the 12s and you'd be good lol. Or you can opt for one of the tubular UCAs on the market. This is if you are totally against not using spindles. Just for reference I've been running Bora spacers for over 2 years now no issues. Only time they get torqued is when they come off to work on the truck. They've worked really well and not a single issue and I've wheeled my truck really hard.
