SCS 6 vs TRD Pro Wheels (1 Viewer)

Nice little setup you got there!

Did indeed go for a lift, Dobinsons 2-3” with 100LB+ springs up front and 200lb+ springs in the rear and JBA upper control arms to get some caster back. Been very happy with it all so far.

I feel I’ve had to do more trimming that others have for a similar tire/lift setup. I’ve done a BMC, moved the front fender liner forward 2”, trimmed the crap out of the rear fender liner (bottom 12-16” of it), several inches off the running board and I still get an occasional rub with off camber turning when suspension is stuffed a bit off-road. I think I need to flatten the pinch welds now. Not sure what gives there.




I liked the Stealth 6s enough I put some on the trailer too. It's running Jeep CJ-7 suspension with a 2" shackle lift

You're getting that much rubbing on 285/70/17s AND a 2" lift? I've got 285/65/18 and ever so barley rub- I'm going to 17" TRDs and figure I can do at least 275/70/17s, and was considering going to 285s.... now you got me rethinking

I really feel like I’m an odd ball on this. I think (though I never measured) I got 2.5 or 3” of lift out of my kit and yet I definitely have more rub than most I read about for a 285/70 17. Most say they do some trim and remove that one problematic bolt in the rear of the fender, some did a BMC for hard turns or off-roading, but not that AND some more.

That said, it’s all plastic, besides the BMC, and I’d definitely do it again for the results.

I can take some detailed pics if you’d like to see my efforts. Here’s the only one I have that shows some of the running board and rear liner trimming...and I’ve trimmed more since this photo.

I'm thinking it depends on wheel offset.

Very true. For reference, my setup is 17x8.5 with a -10MM offset.

Mine are the same size but with a +10mm offset.
