Curious is anyone is running this setup and will it/does it minimize rubbing?

Thanks,

Mike

Yeah, OME lift. HD springs up front, MED spring rate in rear. OME shocks and struts as well.

depending on the tread width (different from section width)
you might end up hammering down a pinch weld and clearing up some of the front wheel well liner

or it may clear with no issues......

normally 255's are not a problem.

Thanks for the advice. I currently have 245/75/16's on the Moabs now and they rub on both the lower front bumper trim strip and the pinch weld, or at least the inner fender liner over the welds. I have to look at them some more. Another question, what tire pressure do people run the tires at? I know the max is 80 psi on the MT/R's I have on there now. Usually, with the previous tires the max was 50 psi and I ran them around 45 psi cold.

Thanks.

Here's a pic with the wheels and tires mounted on the jeep.

Moabs with 245/75/16 Goodyear MT/R's on them.

I run 255/70-16's on stock Renegade wheels. No rub except in reverse at full lock on the edge of the front air dam. Lifted sitting at 22.25 front, 22.5 rear with OME 927/948, 1/4" top plate, 3/8" clevis and one extra rear iso. You should be OK but with the backspacing difference I don't know if you'd catch the fog light door and/or the pinch weld cuz of the wider arc.
