I think what you are trying to communicate to us something to do with that your tires rub?

we do know that:

Bighorns in that size are about 33.3" in diameter...more than a std 33" nominal sized tire which is typically closer to 32.6 - 33", etc...but stock section width, with a knobby sidewall/tread area.


You added Rubi shocks, which do not change your height or clearance...so not sure why you mention it.

You added spacers, which do not change where the tires come up to, only the ride height....so not sure why you mentioned it, unless the rub is at ride height?

And you want to know why the tires rub, or just want to tell us that the tires rub?



I suppose telling us the conditions underwhich the rub occurs would be a good start.



If it only rubs when braking, turning, on bumps/compression...or even just driving along a flat road in a straight line, etc...any/all scenarios would be good info.

What's the scoop?
