Installer says tires are rubbing frame - anyone else run into this?

Rubbing where the yellow arrow is. The crash bar is the piece bolted to the right, for reference.

I am running 35 s on the wildtrack sas wheels on a base 2 door with no issues at all. I did remove the crash bars but that is it.

I believe this only "works" on non-Sasquatch Badlands.

I dont see how this would ever work on BD steelies and what those wheel specs are with 35s.

My 33s rub on full lock, and it's not the crash bars. It's some curved metal pipe. Sorry I'm not a mechanic and don't know the name of everything lol.
I'll take a pic later, edit this post, and add it here.

It's no deal killer but it basically means it limits me from using trail turn to its fullest potential. I'm always conscious of it so next time I take my Bronco in I'm going to get an assessment on what to do

Yeah I think I just misread some posts earlier saying it was close but ok. I'm doing both lift and tires, but didn't do them in the right order. Lift happens on the 29th, so it's not the end of the world.

If you are planning on keeping the steelies you may want to look at a 1" wheel spacer to push them out a bit. A 1" spacer will get you equal to the Squatch wheel offset. I don't think a lift will solve your rubbing issues.

We discussed that. Going to do a lift first and if it doesn't completely eliminate it, we will look at a small spacer. It'll be close.

1” spacers will give you an offset like the Squatch wheels. You should be ok then except for extreme articulation.

I'll be following this to see how it works out once the lift is installed. I'm looking at running 35's on stock steelies with a 2 inch lift.

I just changed my order from these to the 285/75 which shaves off 0.6" in diameter. Width is only 0.1" narrower and 4 lbs lighter - but saved over $200 on the set of 5. I am doing SAS-Bilstein to get the 1.1" lift...

Success! 2” RC lift for now. 35x11.5x17 Toyo AT IIIs. Feels great although I’ve gone a mile from installer to home. Love them!

That’s why I went with 11.5, but that was to avoid rubbing the control arm.

roughly how much clearance did you have from the UCA before you lifted?
