Default Rubbing

Can someone please tell me if a 285/75/17 (33.86 x 11.30 via factory site) tire on stock Rubi wheels with 1.5 spacers will rub anything when turning lock to lock? Dont care about the fenders as I am putting on flat flares.

I have been reading all afternoon including the faqs, and I believe I will be fine. Just want to make sure.

AND YES I HATE PEOPLE LIKE ME TOO! I wish I could give back for all the answers I get from you guys. I know about weight lifting, weight loss, and sex. Please feel free to ask me about any of those topics.

the best and only way you will know for sure is if you do it yourself and go for it.

You'll be fine, as long as those tires aren't really big. (my 295/75/16's measured out at 32" even. Don't expect your 33.86's to be anywhere close to that...)

285/70-17s measure 32.8", not 33.8".

And no, when using 1.5" spacers they will not rub (mounted on factory wheels) at full lock.

My advice is to buy high quality spacers, such as Spidertrax and Terra Flex. Remember the rule... You will get what you pay for.
