Hey all, My 31'' tires used to rub the front outer edge of my bumper until I got my tires worn down to nubs. After installing JBAs A-arms rubbings back and it's worse than it was originally. Any one else get that, is it normal? |

Since JBA's arms push the top of the tire out, yes, its normal. Have you gotten an alignment since installing those? |

Yeah, had them aligned already. I guess I'll just do some more trimming. I need new tires and it'll be unbearable with new tread. Thanks! |

What is the backspacing on your wheels? When you go to a larger and wider tire, you either need spacers, or the correct BS'ed wheel. |

Sorry took so long to reply Daspes. I'm running 3.75 backspacing on my wheels. |

Thats part of the problem right there what width? Need to stay closer to 4 or 4.5 inches of backspacing we don't have a ton of room to be running wheels with that type of backspacing, sits them out way too much and then you get more rubbing |

 at your McD's comment BlackWidow. Dunno when gonna wheel, gotta get all the boxes unpacked. Probably not until spring.Well, poop, I'm not replacing wheels anytime soon, so I guess I'm putting up with it. At some point I'd like to get rid of stock bumper anyway and that should solve it. Thanks all! |
