295’s on Limited 20” wheels?

Well, put on 2.5/1 leveling kit last week. Ended up actually at 3” in front based on fender/ hub measurements.

Decided to go with 295/60r20 Ridge Grapplers. When the tire shop put the first one on, they did a test fit and reported that the sidewall was only about 1/8” clearance from the UCA. We decided that it was a little close for comfort and I got some 1.25” Spidertrax on the way. Had planned to add them at some point anyway, so not a totally big issue.

But now I’m wondering... There are plenty of trucks on here running 295 tires on stock wheels. What was the issue on mine? Are the limited wheels even less offset than other stock wheels?

Two things I’ve wondered after the fact...
1) The truck had not be aligned yet after the lift. We were going to do it with the new shoes on. Could this have made the difference?
2) I don’t know if the truck was on the ground or in the air for the pic. Would this have made a difference,
Would these two together made and even bigger difference?

currently with the 275/60r20 that were on the truck, there is about a finger width between sidewall and UCA.
Any thoughts?

 

I run 295/55R20 Ridge Grapplers on my Limited wheels, no spacer. Perfectly, no rubbing at full lock.

here you can find some info, and the pics of my truck, the Black SR with Blacked out Limited rims.

I have stock suspension and I highly recommend aligning the truck after, the difference is night and day. Also consider pressurizing the tires at least at 39psi, otherwise it makes a huge difference in gas milage.

 

So it sounds like the issue is that the camber is off a bit from lifting and that is causing the clearance issue. Should have had the alignment done before mounting tires and probably would’ve been ok. Either way, the spacers will help and make it look better. Just meant adding a few days before seeing the finished product. Waiting sucks sometimes.

 

2016 Limited with 295/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers 2.5 leveling kit. NO WHEEL SPACERS
No rub. Only trimmed the skid plate

 

I’m running 295/65r20 toyo mts on the sport wheels. Same thing. And had to run spacers to fit the control arms. Love the look no rubbing. But trimmed the skid plate and adjusted the front inner fender. Running Ome suspension with the hd coils cuz I plow.

 

that looks great. So you have what, 3” of lift in the front?

 

How stiff is the ride without the blade on the front? I’m about to go 295/70 18s on my truck with either the OMEs or 6112 or toytec aluma’s. Probably only at 2”.

 

Yeah around 3” of lift. And did couch builder shackles in the rear.

 

Rides great better them ready lift 3-2 I had on my old tundra. Ome is good stuff.

 

Finished!
Took adding 1.25” spacers. I think one alignment was done it would have been ok, but happy with the end result.

 

Did you use any CB shims on this setup? I'm fixing to do the 6112/5160 lift and plan to run the same size tires.

 

Looks great. Can you take a picture of the truck from a front angle so I can see the effect of the spacers. Thanks
