SPC UCAs w/ 285/75/18 Stock Wheels

Think I’m going to put 285/75/18s on in the next few weeks.
I know they’ll clear everything except my SPCs.

surprised no one has asked this before, I’ve done plenty of googling.

Anyone with SPCs running 285/75/18 on stock wheels?

 

Bryce! You may not be able to clear the UCA due to using the stock +60 rims. You will most likely have MM to play with. Best bet is if you look into some Bora/Spidertrax 1.25" spacers to push the stock wheels out a bit more to clear the 285/75.

 

Thank you!! I've figured a bit as much -- 275/70s are already quite close.

 

Wheel spacers may do it or get some aftermarket 0 offset wheels.

 

Not sure it won't work, I had exactly the same thing going on. In hindsight I almost wish I would have kept the stock rims and at least tried first. For sure it would have been close, but I actually think it would have been alright. My suggestion is ask the shop to try and fit one, you just may get really lucky! Report back and let us know!

 

You can definitely look into +25 or +18 offset wheels just for that sweet spot.

 

Man, I am telling you, I went down this exact path for months. I'm even almost certain someone here posted one, maybe even two. However, I can't recall who it was. I just know I was finally swayed because I wanted to add flares, so needed a little different offset to match the flares positioning.

 

Fwiw, I ended up at +30 offset and still have about an inch of clearance.

 

This is what I’ll do. Prefer to not use spacers — rims aren’t an option with the thrashing my wheels see

 

I put on 285/75 on, had to trim the skid plate. Still rubs on the sway bar at full lock. Not sure what to do about that yet. Thought about spacers, but that tends to create more rubbing.
