88pathoffroad Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Did you even LOOK before asking? Sheesh, this is such simple stuff. Takes a Philips head screwdriver or 10mm wrench/socket. Go look for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonathanb18 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 i knoticed some bolts need to be put back on, is it possible for the wheels to rub on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathanb18 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 also, rather then making a new thread ill just ask my other question on this one. are there any problems with adding a 31x10.5 tire as a spair? im going to get an extra 15x7 rims so they are all the same size.

nige Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 you'll be fine with the tire, and yes, the bolts will rub on your tires when your suspension is compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathanb18 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 thats what i figured on the bolts, im going to replace them with some rounded top skrews. and about the spair, good know know. i took a local big brand tires(the guy was cluless) and he said i would need to weld bigger boltes on first before i could put that big of a tire on. thanks, ill try to get some picuters up after i get my outlaw II's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Try turning the wheel and looking at where the tire is closest in travel to the flare, as well as looking for obvious rubbing. When mine was stock height, my 31's would rub. I just trimmed an inch or so on the front/bottom of the flare near the bumper, as well as the ends of that valance thing under the bumper. Done, no rubbing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathanb18 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 yeah, they're off already, but good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 By the way, that's spelled "flare" and "spare". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 and about the spair, good know know. i took a local big brand tires(the guy was cluless) and he said i would need to weld bigger boltes on first before i could put that big of a tire on. BS, you should be fine, there are people with larger wheels and tires mounted on them then what you're planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I should have added, cranking up the torsion bars about an inch would have probably eliminated the rubbing without taking off the flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
