Wheels and tires upgrade

[bryansocutiepatootee]

Sorry just realized that there’s a thread for wheels and tires. Newbie here
Copy and paste from original

Hello, good day to everyone. First of this is my first time setting up a suv(body on frame). This is my wifes Land Cruiser that I’m setting up. I put on a new set of wheels 18x9 0 offset and 275/70/18 toyo open country at3 tires. Now my problem are I’m having a rubbing issues front tire fender liner and bumper clips, If i invest in a suspension upgrade will the rubbing go away and have a better ride? Ride is now kinda bumpy not sure if its because of the E load tires. And when going 60+mph the car shakes but the steering wheel doesn’t vibrate. I can see the headrest vibrates. Maybe just a rebalance the tires? Any suggestions on a proper lift for long term and will not break the bank?
To all the tire experts, do you think changing tires to 265/70/18 or 285/65/18 will remove the rubbing? To all the people trim or grind the fender liner can you post pics please.
Thanks and be gentle to me please.

I'm no expert, but I've read a lot of the forum... I think its your wheel offset that's causing you issues. Many people have had no issues with 275/70/18

You need at least 25mm offset or more depending on the setup. Here is mine:

17" BLACK RHINO RIVAL 17X8.5 6X5.5 106 +25 M-GNMTL M-
BLK

35x11.50r17 TOYO OC AT lll

Some simple trimming will fix that rubbing very easily. See my post here of what I did

Thread 'Fitting 35s with no rubbing on compression' Fitting 35s with no rubbing on compression

I'll try and get some more photos of what to do with the screw at the bottom. But basically, there's one screw holding in the liner at that position. Unscrew it, push the liner in, and re-screw. That's it

I have 275/70/18 Toyo AT3 as well but my offset is 18mm and no rubbing issues at all.

Here's what I trimmed. I marked the cut line in blue on your photo.

Did you get a black rhino for the spare and how did it fit? Looks great and Black Rhino’s rock! Very well made.

I kept the OEM spare. They are 707 bead grip Method wheels.
