I'm running that size stock wheels no spacers. If the tire clears the knuckle no matter by how little it will work. The relationship between the tire and the knuckle bolt never changes no matter what. So if it clears by 1/100 of an inch in the air it will clear by that no matter what. I hope I'm making sense who knows haven't slept much so...
Yea I understand that about the bolt. Hmm I guess Ill test it with the spacers on.. if not then ill pull them off. They are used BFG all terrains So they arent going to be 100% tread(maybe around 85%) so that will help also..
I'm running MT's and had no issues from new so I'm willing to bet those will fit with out spacers. Just remember that tires that will fit with no rub may rub once spacers are put on.
Well I shouldn't have to worry now. I have the spacers on and the pinch weld done. Now I just need the tires. I dont think I'll have them before my trail run this weekend but thats ok.
I have the same tires, and I still do rub at full lock nomatter what... I guess it's because of the nose dive-in. I think if I level it with the rear height it would be fixed, but thinking about when I load the truck, it would look like carrying an elephant on the rear and the nose up...
BTW, I also had to hammer/trim the pinch weld because it made a small cut in one of the tread wedges.
I have trimed the front bumper as Sal did, and when driving on reverse at full lock still rubs somewhere, I will have to take a better look at that...
p.s. tried to upload pic but didn't work either on IE nor Chrome...

With my 265/70 MT/Rs, I would have had crazy rubbing every where without doing the pinch weld mod and wheel spacers. I would have never cleared the UCA bolt and id have to drive in a straight line even if it did clear it.

In your signiture you state that you are running re-treads.....Maybe this is why you are rubbing so bad. I have 265/70 Nittos and only slightly rub in reverse (while turning) and do not have the pinch weld modded.Originally Posted by israelintothewild
