    Wheel clearance.

    I'm about to pull the trigger and buy some 265/75's and order a 2inch lift, was going to get a front bar too but have decided to wait till later to do that. This leads me to my question, will the standard front bumper foul on the new tyres with a 2 inch lift?
    Thanks.

    I don't know if anyone else has this problem but the search function does diddly-squat, hence the seemingly stupid question.
    Thanks.

    I don't think tapatalk has that function available. Maybe the powers that be should look at fixing the functions for those users who don't use a p.c.?

    To answer the question anyway......

    I had 265/75s on factory rims without a lift and there was just a very slight rubbing on the plastic liner inside the wheel arch.
    I ran like this for several months without wearing a hole in the plastic, so it is a very slight rub.....so a lift will easily avoid the wheels rubbing.

    Hope this helps.


    Cheers and merry xmas.

    I've had up to 285/80 BFG A/T's and only rubbed on the radius arms, as do the 265.70's on there now.

    Agreed with the others. I had that lift and tyre combo for a while and it didn't rub, you'll be fine.

    You may get some rubbing on the rear arch however and should give a quick trim with a dremel or angle grinder to give better clearance. To see how to do this search for "camel cut".
