285/70R17 LUBR Rubbing Issues

[duffymahoney]

I narrowed my axle 1" on each side, but 1/2" would have been enough.

Your underside of your vehicle is cleaner than my interior. Go get it dirty, and quit making me look bad..

What wheels are those? And do you have an updated pic with the 265's?

I believe they're these, US Wheel Dueces, 17x8s with 4.5 backspacing. Looking back I wish I would have upgraded to the Circle Racing 108 OE series. They're about twice as much as what I paid, but the Dueces have some play when you fit them so proper balancing can be an issue. I'm considering buying those next year actually since one of my rims has already bent a little from some beautiful Michigan potholes.

Really happy with the 265s though. I have a 2.5 SL and 2 BL, even then with the rear axle moved back an inch and 4.5 inches of backspacing, my 285s still rubbed especially when I hammered on the pedal and the back end squatted. I think the smaller tire fits the car better. The Trail Terrains are smooth as butter at 80mph, and still look beefy enough for my tastes.

Thanks for the info. I love the look of these wheels and the ability to use a cap on them. Unfortunately, they're more than I want to spend. Your bronco looks great with them.

Everybody might want to look at 75 series tires, generally taller and skinner than the 70 series, running 34x10.5x17" BFG AT's on my uncut right now on Dodge 1500 steel wheels.

How much of a lift do you have?
