    So... I think I have decided on my tire: Nitto Trail Grappler 285/75R16. I'm planning on running them on the stock wheels for now... I wonder if I need wheel spacers?

    Hope I can get them installed before Harlan!

    285's on stock wheels will rub UCA's 99 in 100 times....I run 1" Bora spacers to eliminate that rubbing. With 1" spacers, I'm about 5/8" off UCA's.

    I'll have Dirt King UCA's that will be going on. Do you still believe it will still rub? I thought the aftermarket UCA's alleviated this issue?

    That should solve the rubbing

    Scratches, dents, lots of squeaks.
    yes, you'll need wheel spacers to keep them off the UCA's. Also, when you get it aligned have them move the wheels as far forward as possible with a positive camber. They didn't get my drivers side far enough forward after I fell in that big hold at RRG. I had to trim the underside of the rear fender flare. Its just plastic.

    Its the offset of the wheel that's the issue, not sure of UCAs alone will fix that.

    Dusty maybe? Possibly some custom pin stripes? The sky’s the limit.
