Hi All,

I just wanted some insight on tires. I wanted to get more aggressive wheels but trying to see my options. I saw on instagram a couple people use 285/55/R20 with a 31mm spacer. Would you guys recommend using spacers and will putting that tires size have rubbing without spacers? I am trying to avoid spacers if it will alter the ride in any way. Thanks all.

I'd recommend spacers, I actually have been using 50mm spacers for the last 4 years/18,000 miles with no issues. Not only do they widen the stance for more stability, but they make the wheels look better in relation to the fenders.

No, it's a 3 inch lift with 305/65 R18 BF Goodrich KO2s and 50mm wheel spacers.

There are a few rim co's that will get a lower ET - Black Rhino built my setup at 18x9 et 0 which allows for full travel and no rubbing without spacers, but maximized stance width...

The Alpha's that Jackwagon can supply are a slightly less aggressive ( ET25) option but a great rim - I ran a set with spacers...with 305's they're perfect for most needs I think...

my current tires are 325/65/18's....
