Finally got new wheels and tires (34's!) - ask me anything! (6 Viewers)

hey @riffman12 , no problems at all. still well balanced and rides like they were new. Noise is fine and they handle well enough for me. I don't have much off-road miles on them yet other than some flat gravel trails but all good there too. I don't have much to compare them to so don't want to oversell or anything, but at least haven't had anything abnormal happen.

Hey @deanblitzer , had a baby bit of rub when under braking and turning hard (like into a driveway). I had already removed the mud flaps some time ago but they would have certainly touched those too much if they were on. Otherwise I just trimmed a hair of the plastic on the rear of the well and was good to go. I can send a pic if it would help.

Few other things worth noting though that may be relevant...

• I have an ARB front bumper so no experience with what the front well might need.
• When I got it aligned I had them go to the edge of one of the numbers (+ caster perhaps?) like I saw some suggest that would marginally move things forward. But I also did that in concert with aftermarket UCAs that helped in some way. I'd have to dig back a bit to give you exact details on that, but noting it because it's another thing that could make it a different set up.

Thanks for the reply! I have the most rubbing on the front liner so I think your bumper solved that issue for you! Maybe I’ll have to go that route at some point!
