Slightly larger tires on a Jeep JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator can cause minor rubbing of the frame or suspension components when making a full turn. As in, having your steering wheel turned to a full lock. Fortunately, there is a simple fix for it and in this short video, you'll get to see just how easy it is to adjust your steer stops and with nothing more than a 15mm socket and a washer or two.
We hope that you find our Jeep tip to be useful and if you enjoy seeing our Ripley clips, be sure to keep watching till the end!

Don't have a JL or JT, but a JK, and still love watching this stuff and learned something new. Also, let's not gloss over the way he always presents not just the fix, but what is actually going on to cause the issue AND he goes over other options (wheels, spacers) and then shows us a extreme budget solution. Love this shit.

Or, go with "pizza cutters" and install LT255/80R-17 (33" x 10.5") tires. I have the Toyo Open Country AT3's on my 2020 Willys on the factory 17" x 7" Moab wheels and they fit perfectly with no rubbing. Love your videos and really enjoy the Pippi series. Just offering info as I build my Jeep along similar lines. Oh, and for those with the automatic transmission, you'll need to have it re-programmed for the taller tires so it shifts properly. And, how smart is Ripley?! Wow! Keep living well, my friend! Pete - KI7LIL

@Dnasty1 11 месяцев назад

You are lucky your car is so high I have a lowered coupe and i'm trying to diagnose rubbing. To make it even more difficult it only does it when i'm not moving and holding the brake and turning close to or at full lock. I am not sure if it does it while driving because I would never turn that wide while going any significant speed but also it does not make this noise when I put the car in park and turn lock to lock. Only when holding the brake with some weight load on the suspension i'm assuming is causing this issue to present itself.

@kyulee5141 Год назад

I have seen jl sport owners with no lift put 315 70 on their stock rim which are 7.5 in wide. Is this safe? I’m looking into 305 65 on the stock rims if safe, otherwise I plan on putting these tires on a 8.5 in wide rim with about 5.25 inches of back space / 15 to 20 positive offset. Will both of these combinations rub? Not as an off roader, just as a daily driver?

@wayalife Год назад

I think the bigger question is whether or not the tire shop you use will install them. If they do, you should be fine. If not, THEY will say it's because it's unsafe.

@sharonmay6289 20 дней назад

My 2-door Wrangler Sport arrives in a week. I'd like to remain stock except to switch out tires to BFG K02s, preferably the 285/70r17 size. Did you change the control arms in Pippi when you added your 285/70s? Is that necessary to keep factory alignment? Also, how much were your mileage and acceleration affected by the added size and weight?

@wayalife 18 дней назад

Jeep uses the same control arms even with 2" of lift and 35" tires as you will find on an XR package. So no, I did not change them out and there is no need to. Tire size will NOT affect alignment. Power loss was minimal and if you are getting your Jeep with an automatic, it will be negligible. I would recommend that you recalibrate your speedometer with something like a Jscan though.

@sharonmay6289 18 дней назад

@@wayalife Thanks for your answer. My new Jeep Sport will be a manual transmission. How much will my mpg be diminished by the 285/70 tires?

@wayalife 18 дней назад

@@sharonmay6289 It really depends on the type of tread your tires will have than size. An aggressive mud terrain will have more rolling resistance than an all terrain and they will hurt your fuel economy more. Otherwise, not too much.

@sharonmay6289 18 дней назад

@@wayalife Thanks, that's good to know. I plan on putting on BFG K02s. The 255/75 weighs 46 lbs, and the 285/70 weighs 51 lbs. I'm using the stock wheels. These tires compare to the OEM at 32 lbs, so I worry about adding 19 lbs. at each corner.

Umm, yes, the tie rod connects both sides and that is the exact reason why only ONE steer stop would touch at a full lock. As far as some kind of 'strain' goes, I have no idea what you might be imagining. Sorry.

@ryanhaya6424 2 года назад

@ssnydess6787 2 года назад

Thanks for the tip. The best solution, though, is to get the correct wheels with the correct offset. I hate the idea of increasing my turn radius and maneuverability. Before installing my front stubby bumper. I found slight rubbing between the bumper filler and the larger 35". Filler removed, problem solved. Thanks for the good tips!

@wayalife 2 года назад

These are factory wheels and so they are the correct offset. Installing aftermarket wheels with different offset or less back spacing will move the steering axis inclination and that will adversely affect your scrub radius. They will also move the wheel center line and that will create more leverage and cause your ball joints and unit bearings to wear out prematurely. Clearly, with 35" tires or bigger, there are sacrifices that need to be made to clear components on your Jeep but that doesn't mean they are "correct".

@williammccaslin8527 2 года назад

Do's adding the washer cut down your turning radius, or is it neglible by only a few degrees, thx

@wayalife 2 года назад

With just the one washer, it's negligible.

@Tfam305 2 года назад

Does this need to be done on both sides or just the rubbing side? I’ve always had rubbing in the same location on my Jk only on the passenger side

@wayalife 2 года назад

If you watch to the end of the video, you'll hear me say that IF I had rubbing on the other side, I would have installed a washer there. As in, you just need to adjust for the rubbing side.
