Wheel Spacers Or Something Else?

[Cmbechtold]

I have a 32' all terrains and they are rubbing pretty bad when I turn the wheel all the way. They arent rubbing on body will spacers work? If so what kind should I get also how big? thanks.

I had no rubbing with factory rims and 1.25" spacers with 31x10.5's on an unlifted 2wd

I would look into the WJ LCAs.  it fixed my rubbing issue with my 10.5 inch wide tires

Unless you want the "stance" get the LCAs. And running spacers is a whole 'nother topic in-of-itself .

[Cmbechtold]

How so? I would like to have the look of spacers also

[Pete M]

spacers are likely to push your 32s into your fenders.

There is also the option of rims with a different offset  (Deeper Dish than factory)

Even a 1" difference might be enough solve your rubbing problem and give you the wider stance if you want that look.  :thumbsup:   . :MJ 1: .

but in his case (32s), any push out will move the tire off the control arm and into the fenders.  if he had a smaller tire there would certainly be more options, but the space is only so big under there.

Assuming his coils arent sagged to all hell and he's either running no flares or trimmed flares they will fit. I have 31's and 2" of bs and there is plenty of room.. However I have heard the factory flares hang down an inch from the metal. I'm not sure if this is true or not. But my flares are untrimmed. :dunno:

Spacers can have a lot of issues with them.

If you get some make sure they are hubcentric otherwise all of the weight will be sitting on your lugs.

(I don't really buy into the stuff about it kill your ujoints or all rims would have the same bs then)

If you get some make sure you put on blue lock tight to the threads.

If you get some make sure you torque your spacers. Drive 10 miles and then torque them again and do so every mouth..or sooner.

Or you don't do all of that ^ make sure you don't mind chasing a wheel down the road.

If you get some make sure you don't mind taking extra time taking off and putting on each wheel/spacer as to not break a spacer stud.

 

Those are just some of the main points I can think off. Google it, people much smarter than I can explain the issues.

Well then rubbing on the flare will now be a problem......widen the stance with either spacers or IMHO deep dish rims....you will love the look..... and again IMHO it really makes the truck more stable and handle better.... :thumbsup:    . :MJ 1: .
