Unhappy New tires wont fit :{

got my 33x10.50 bfg all terrains and found out the front tires wont go on because they will be rubbing right against the upper a arms. why have i not heard of anyone else with this problem. lots of people said they have the same setup. should i get wheels spacers

i think you'll either need wheel spacers or new 15x8 wheels

just couldnt believe a 10.50 would be to wide when lots of people use 11.50's. why must nothing work out. got the rears mounted they look great. guess ill order some 1.5'' wheels spacers.

How far are the tires into the a-arms? Maybe a 1/4" spacer would do the trick...

1 1/2" seems like overkill.

Stock tires are 31x10.5 there really shouldn't be a problem, that is weird. Consider new rims with better backspacing too, if you like steelies you can pick up some chrome or black ones pretty cheap.

Yup like Intrepid said I'm gueesing somethings screwed up with your backspacing...I'd go with as small of spacer as you can or sell the wheels and get new ones that will work

That's funny - no one here suggested removing the upper a-arm, band sawing off a little, fill welding the hole, grinding it, painting it, replacing the ball joint, and then remounting the whole thing.

Just kidding. Check the backspacing. Are you sure those are stock wheels? Might even want to check that the tires are what they say they are.
