Ravine Rims

[TheDirtyJeep401]

I'm wanting to put Ravine rims on my comanche. Its not lifted and didnt know if they would be rubbing at full lock. I know i can swap WJ control arms on and it will help. But if I were to put 235 75 R15 tires on it Will it still be fine? Just wondering if I can just put them on there and there be no rubbing. I'm gonna upgrade to 31's soon.

Thanks in advance

What do the "Ravine" rims look like?

I used to run Ravines and they would rub slightly with 31" tires at almost full lock. Wasn't bad though. After swapping in the WJ LCAs, no more rubbing at all.

Stock height and no spacers? looks awesome by the way :thumbsup:

If turning radius isn't a huge issue for you, longer bolts can also replace the factory ones to prevent you from turning so far. That's what I did to my old '91 I had with a 3" lift and Canyon wheels with 31" tires that rubbed a tiny bit originally.

Thanks. The pic above is with a 2.5" lift, but I also ran the Ravines before lifting it, and no spacers up front. I did have the quick ratio ZJ steering box fitted which has less turns lock-to-lock. It just barely rubbed for me when cranking the wheel fully into the stops.

It has fewer turns lock-to-lock because of the faster ratio. The lock is in the same position, in terms of angle off straight ahead. The faster-ratio box would make no difference with respect to rubbing (or not) on the LCAs.

True on fewer turns lock-to-lock. But the ZJ box internal travel stops are tighter than the XJ/MJ box. 38deg 45min travel for the ZJ steering gear vs. 40deg 30min for the XJ/MJ. Less * on the total travel arc = less rubbing.
