Tires very close to UCA need suggestions

Is there anything that can be done for this? It’s hitting something when it pull into a steeper driveway at full lock.

 

SPACERS!! Or offset wheels lol. Then need push bumper out with shims or just cheapest way heat up plastic... need to add some bump stop extenders aswell I can see they ain’t doing anything sitting high...

 

I plan on keeping the stock wheels. Let’s talk spacers. Brand and size? Will this push the tires out just a hair

 

Here you go I did it for you lol. This all you need

 

Thanks for your help man greatly appreciated does @14burrito approve of this

 

Where are you located?

 

Gulf coast Ms

 

for the OE 18" wheels, I believe to achieve the best wheel offset a BORA 1" spacer works best...I will need to go and double check my notes and OE offset specs on those wheels you have.

 

He doesn't need those bump spacers unless he added a shim or additional lift on top of his bilsteins. Bilstein provides a shim in the kit, he should use that for best performance.

 

Oh dang I would’ve helped you but I’m in ATL. I was having same problem so decided to buy CB pro kit and came with everything, but didn’t use the spacers decided to buy sr8 wheels instead put me at +25 offset. Spacers will put stock wheels at +28 offset which about same. But wheels look better lol

 

Okay

 

Just being honest and saving him $ from unnecessary HW. after all, he already bought it when buying the kit. bilstein figured out the block height, provided a shim to work best with that specific set-up.

not trying to be a butt about it

 

Okay

 

lol

 

Thanks man! Braves looked solid last night

 

Will a 1" spacer work without trimming the lugs? I thought that 1.25" was the min.

@Edier08 spacers will push the wheel out and give more clearance between the tire and UCA and it may help with the swaybar. Stock wheels are a +60 offset and a 1.25" spacer will change this to about a +28 wheel offset.

The downside to spacers, and pushing the wheel out, is that (as others have said) it could then cause rubbing on the front liner or possibly the cab mount behind the tire. If it rubs the liner, that is an easy fix to just push the liner forward. If it rubs the cab mount then an alignment with a good shop that knows lifted truck might help.

FWIW, I have wheels with a +25 offset and I was rubbing the swaybar with 35x12.5 tires. It only rubbed at full lock and even then, not all of the time. 295s are a little narrower so you should be ok or once the tires are worn down a bit, the issue might go away (until you get new tires again).

 

Lol I’m a rays fan. I’m from Tampa but work here in ATL but always go back. GO RAYS

 

Thanks @14burrito you are the man. Let me know

 

Couldn’t have said it better

 

Easier to just remove the swap bar and move on

regarding spacers, yes i would agree with what you and @BUCS_KID88 stated with the 1.25" on the 60mm wheels. RW wheels are 50mm (which is what I run) and I was thinking 1" spacer on those to net 25 on the offset.

 

lol - yep, my swaybar is off. Much better for off-road and with 700# springs on-road cornering is not too bad.

 

Decisions! I do like the spacer look because right now they are tucked into the fender well a lot and it might help the sway bar situation. Does it matter which brand for wheel spacers

 

Bora or spidertrax only!!

 

personally never felt unsafe myself with 600lb coils and the bar off. its been removed since about 8k miles once the 5100s were installed.

*removing the sway bar - end user is held liable for anything and everything. i am not responsible for anything that may happen*

 

Either Bora or Spidertrax. You want a good quality hub-centric spacer.

 

Got some boras 1.25 brand new in the box need them? LMAO

 

I just might. Need to see what the cost is for parts labor etc

 

Nah would be cheaper for you to buy online and do it yourself it comes with instructions or just YouTube lol.

 

The only downside takes 4-10 weeks for boras to make to order or buy used ones from someone here.”I don’t like used lol”. Or spidertrax would ship faster but they are blue. That’s why I choose bora they black blends in with wheels....
