35's can rub upper fender flare

[Klutch]

Just an fyi. No rubbing during wheeling. But when jumping and at full compression, the tire must balloon a bit and contact the upper part of flare. Watch the front tire in pic/ video.

The guys over at G.O.A.T Offroad posted a great write up last week regarding lifting/leveling the RR and it touched on this issue. They state that this can be solved by using a strut spacer.

Yeah seen that. I do have a strut spacer as well. Maybe just not quite enough but nothing has been damaged so I'll just leave it alone.

So even with strut spacers for lifts (how many inches are yours?), if you put 35s on stock wheels, they'll still rub at full articulation?
I wish someone would find the right recipe for the best non-portal lift lol.

my spacers are to get a 2 inch lift. I don't have rubbing at full articulation, only when landing. Tires are also at 28psi. I didn't want to mention my wheel spacers from rokblokz but they also factor in. I didn't want to hear about the whole wheel spacer good or bad business. I'm fully aware of the down sides.

Got it. No, selfishly, I'm trying to figure out my plan for possible 35s when my 33s start wearing out someday in the future. I currently have the stock KO3s on the stock beadlock capable wheels with no lift and with the BORA 1.5" spacers (not strut spacers, I mean wheel spacers).

I have only jumped it a couple times pre-spacers and a couple times after and I didn't notice any damage.

Roger that. I'm pretty satisfied with my current setup. No plans to change any time soon. I think id only change if i get different tires in the same size next time that possibly cause rubbing. Currently on goodyeary territory
