I just got a set today... 265/75/16.. 32" basically... wheels turned all the way to one side it hits what looks like the brake line...

So I guess I need spacers? I didn't think it would rub, can't believe its that tight under there.

Any ideas?

thx

I run that same size tire & wheel. I have never had any rubbing. Do you have any pics?

 

I'll try and take a pic tommorow... its like barely rubbing on a full on cranked tire....

only rubs on one side it seems

 

that said the tires are amazing.. hit a huge snow storm today.. was surprised by the awesome performance.. not that loud either.. louder than stock but sounds like a jeep!

 

They are amazing! I won't get to see how they are in the snow as tomorrow I get 5 new 35 inch studded tires!

 

they are amazing in the snow

and for the price they are great! i even pulled a guy out of a ditch no problems

Here is the pic of where my Kumho's are rubbing...very slight. When turning and wheels all the way to that side

 

It looks like you got new rims too...

What is the backspacing on the rims?

 

rims are stock 16" steelies actually

 

Ah Hah!



I like them, I thought they were new. (I haven't seen my JK yet...its been on order since Sept...)

If I'm seeing the picture/depth perception right...would the rub be at the tread edge lined up about where the "U" in Kumho is on the sidewall in the pic?

If so....it looks like the line is looped there...maybe it could simply be re-routed to clear? Often, merely unclipping it, and then re-clipping it in a better spot, making some slack for extra droop while you're at it too, etc.
