Hey all, I've played around at this already to some extent, but I've decided that I'd rather just do what's proper, and I cannot get straight answers from anyone, it's always "bolt it on and see, then deal with the issues.
96, total combined lift, 4.5" front, 3.5 rear. 2" suspension lift, then spacer blocks to level the front end out, but the 2.5 in front was too much, so I had to add 1.5 out back. Level now.
Slapped on metric 32's this past Spring, and made a stupid choice in model, so I'm looking to move them on and get the right things now.
I've had tire rub in the front when cranked to the stops, and the suspension moving deeply into travel with my old 31's, these new 32's are less aggressive, so I'm guessing the side knobs on the old ones were the "issue".
But going to a more aggressive 33, will bring it screaming back.
So, questions:
Is there a known, accepted offset number for wheels on gen 3's as tire size increases, to prevent rub? Not going super wide, just 10.5 of so.
Like, "oh, 1.5" offset wheels and you're golden till you get to ridiculous sizes", or something?
Second, any reason why I should do offset wheels versus spacer blocks behind the wheels? They seem sketchy to me, conceptually, but I may be totally off base. Obviously cheaper, so I'd go that way if they're just as safe and effective. Same question here then. What offset? 1", 1.5", 2"???
I really prefer bolt and go, not, "okay it's on, but we have problems X,Y, and Z, that you now need to go figure out the solutions for"....
Thanks!
