So much mixed information regarding this topic. For those of you that have installed 275s on your Stock wheels let's see some photos and list your setup along with any mods required to the crash bars. Issues with clearing the knuckle? Etc...This will be very helpful to me and I am sure a bunch others. Thanks in advance!

No other mods. Stock Crash bars still in tact. No rubbing at all. 4,000 miles on this setup.

The BFG’s are the only tire Ive seen fit in this size without removing the crash bars. They run slightly smaller which is why they fit.

I can get better images tomorrow as It already in the garage for the night and Im too lazy to take it out.

Good to know that will fit without a problem. I might consider that size later with some Bridgestone Revo 3's after mine wear out.

Wow surprised those fit without rubbing. Obviously it's close, but if I get away with waiting for bora spacers and just not run anything for the time being while I wait, I will be happy. The tires I'm buying are 285/70/17 nitto ridge geapplers and they measure out at 32.76". Hoping that'll be fine.

Just flat since they are so small.
Thanks. I'm on the search for a quick solution because bora is out 5 weeks or so and I'll have my new tires before then and no spacers.

I also need to modify my crash bars or something before hand too. You run into issues with rubbing the factory crash bars?

RIP ball joints?
Have you considered aftermarket UCAs?

What would cause his ball joint to look like that? Ouch.

I have the Icon stage 1 kit, so stock uca's and it doesn't look like that.

It looks like he's at full lock which makes it look worse than it is but if he's all the way at 3" of lift in front then new UCAs are probably a good idea in the long run.
