Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up


Recommended Posts

Took my truck into the woods this weekend. Found out that the method grids love to collect mud and rocks in the fake beadlock groove. Enough to significantly screw up the balance until you hose them clean.

That's where I got all of my information from and it said the same thing, minor trimming that's why I went with the set up. I'm hitting front and rear even after metal trim.

When do you rub? Is it only when doing some sharp turning? Or does it rub every bump you hit and normal turning? I really like the look of the 12" wide wheels. I still have not pulled the trigger this week. I am so torn on what to do.

It rubs on hard turns when I'm going slower and if my wheels are turned if I'm going in to my driveway or over a speed bump. I love the look of the truck without the lift, that's why I'm so hesitant on putting a lift on it. Like I said I did have to do some metal trimming as well to get it to not rub on even small turns.

So on the hard turns it is hitting the fender or the UCAs? I like the look too...A LOT.....I spoke to a guy yesterday with a 20X12 -44 on 33X12.5 with only a 2" front level and he said he did not trim at all and that he can get by with normal driving, just absolutely no U-Turns. So you trimmed the bumper metal or just the fender metal? I'm undecided on which route to take.....I LOVE the look of the 20X12. I will most likely go this route and throw on a 1.5" body lift.....hopefully that will solve the rubbing issues.

 

Do you think a 305/50 would solve the rubbing issues? (32X12)

No UCA hitting at all. I'm hitting the front bumper and inside corner of the body at hard turns or over bumps. If I do any u-turns it has to be at least 3 Lanes of road other then that I don't have any issues at all. I would also say it depends on the type of tire you are gonna put on. I'm running the federal couragia M/T and I think that's one of my problems. I would say if I went down to a 32x12.5 I would clear no problem.

Great info man, thank you. I planned on running the same exact tire, but I am also looking at 305/50 Hankook ATs as well as 295/55 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

 

You are also only running a 2" level in front right?

Yeah, it's a Rough country 2" level. If you want I can take some pics of exactly where I'm rubbing and PM you.

Sure, that would be great! I think I am going to pull the trigger today regardless. Just trying to decide on tire size and whether or not to purchase a 1.5" bodylift while I am at it. Thanks for helping me out.

Does this look like excessive camber to anyone else? I just noticed the inside edges are wearing after only 2000k miles

Supposedly "within spec" but in starting to doubt my dealer more and more

I'm running 295/55R20 Ridge Grapplers on a 2.25" level with MINOR rubbing at full lock on the carpeted fender wells. I could just zip tie it back and it will fix it but I'm just lazy. I just don't turn it to full lock. I'm sure the 1/4" extra lift I have over a 2" isn't that big of a difference. I'd just go with 295/55R20 if I were you. Body lifts are also a pain to install for what you really get out of them. You also have that gap at your hitch and sometimes your tow hooks have to be removed and relocated. Just not worth it in my opinion.

From those angles it does look like a slight negative camber but it also might be excessive toe out or combo of both. I'd just take it to a legit alignment shop and have them check it
