| Post subject: | Rubbing Question? |
Running 245/70R16 Destination ATs on the stock steel 16x7 (5.5"bs?) wheels with a Rusty's 2.5" Lift plus a 3/8" clevis lift and am getting pretty severe rubbing at full-lock on the front sway bars (which I did not think was possible), but no rubbing in the pinch weld or fog-light doors. I do know that the P-rated Destinations are about 0.1" wider than the LT-rated BFG T/A KOs (9.8" vs 9.7") but that should make THAT much differnce, should it? Options? Change Tires? Change Wheels? Wheel Spacers? |

Either go to 16X7 rims with 4.5" back spacing or 1.25" spyder Trax wheel spacers to move the tire out off the swaybar. |

Personally I wouldn't worry about it, as you should only rub onfull lock it's not really a problem. But if it's a comcern for you then do what KJ04 said or get a set of MOABS 5" BS, I think there is a set for sale in the for sale section with some muddies

Those are actually the answers that I expected unfortunately... The only reason I am worrying about it has more to do with DD use than Off-Roading. I live in Metro-Atlanta (lots of traffic and small parking lots). Almost everytime I pull the KJ into a parking space (between the ranks of "grocery getters") I have to cut the wheel sharp enough to cause it to rub. I guess I need to go with a set of Spyder Trax as I must be the only person on the planet who LIKES the way the stock 16x7 argent steel wheels look.

I like the stock alloy rims, I just don't like the 5.5" BS

So any good recommendations for steel 16X7 rims with 4.5" backspacing??? |
