33-35s and Front Lift Question

[Rambo2020R]

Personally it’s more the front and rear of the wheel well/fenders that seem to be the true issues… like the crash bar locations..

Yea my previous 285s on the nomad wheels rubbed on the plastic fog light housing

Those are 265/70r17…(oem tremor tire size)
At first glance I believe anything over a 33 will run on the uca to knuckle area…
You’ll have to get wheels with a better spaced offset than you have.

Do UCAs provide any lift?

They do not. They allow for suspension travel without binding.

What about a spacer? I’m not a fan of them but I’ve never ran them either

What is the proven wheel specs to be able to clear all of that and run 33s/35s? Just in case I do go that route

A lot of people run spacers. Currently I am running a 1 inch spacer, but I have ran a one and a half on my Ranger as many others have also.

What brand are you running?

Amazon stuff…. Follow the directions and do not over tighten like a lot of idiots do.

I have some 1.5” spacers ..
Never installed them.. they’re for sale
Anyway, yes spacers are an option… min 1” spacer..
as you move outwards.. the outboard side of the wheel moves closer to the red zone of rubbing in the crash bar areas.

It’s not exactly that simple

Very nice, I guess I’ll have to decide if I want to dump that kinda cash in it or not

Yes. Yes you do

Make sure they are hub centric spacers and they are ok to run. Not great but the best option.

 

[Rambo2020R]

Yes. Yes you do

Would be an easy decision if I didn’t have 3 vehicles, a camper, couple trailers, and a boat

 

[Rambo2020R]

I think I’ll try a 1” strut spacer for now, a 1” wheel spacer, and try some 295/70/17s. After that if that works well enough, I’ll spring for a 2.5” RR with some more lift and some 35s

I know what you mean…..
