Upper control arm tire too close

Hello just wondering how much space should be between the arm and tire mine sit really close has a 3 and 1 ready
Lift and factory 20x8 rim with 295-60-20 riddge grapplers

 

Should be fine? Keep an eye on it though..tire pressure gets low you might rub??

Or get wheel spacers…

 

as long as you are not rubbing and have a little daylight between you should be ok. Seen plenty where there is only a finger or pinky width of clearance without issues. Just keep an eye on it. Keep tires at correct inflation. Airing down or some real off-roading could mean some rub, but I think you look ok.

 

I had this issue when I put my 3" lift on with my SPC UCAs with the factory 20" rims. That close is too close for me. It rubbed in spots (skid plate/ body mount) with those factory rims. Put some Spidertrax on and it was money, no rub, a comfortable amount of clearance (looked way better too, the factory rims sit inside the wheel wells more than I liked). Shredding a $350 tire once would waste the cost of the spacers... Not to mention the ensuing wreck...

 

I do alot of shark fishing from the beach..i havent heard any rubbing so far but this first time with this big of a tire

 

^^^^ if your in the sand and have to air down I bet you rub? I doubt you would hear it rubbing! $350X2 or $250 for spacers? I wouldn’t risk it!

 

Or goin down to a 285-60-20? really not a fan of spacer to many bad stories

 

Or do it right and get new wheels$$$

I'm thinking it'll be fine even aired down because the tire foot print only gets wide when it makes contact with the ground and then goes back to normal as it rotates back up toward the UCA. A tire, that is not installed on a wheel, holds it shape meaning it doesn't get wider as the pressure goes down - it's the weight of the vehicle that makes it expand outwards

 

And here I was beginning to think I was the only one that did not skip out on physics class.
That is plenty of room. Just make sure you keep an eye on your alignment. If it gets much closer time to figure something else out. And your best bet would be narrower tires.

 

How much of an offset on a rim do yall think...dont want them 8in outside off the finder.... just enough to get clearance away from the arm?

 

Factory is +60…+25 seems to be the sweet spot? That should put the tires slightly outside of the fender.

 

Okay thanks going to look tomorrow

 

Sure you don't want some -18s? I know this jerk in 2nd gen market place selling some really nice 20x10 -18s

 

+18 or +25 offset is a sweet spot for Tundras.
