Widest front tire?
Just fitted some 285/30-18 BFG R1 tires (on 10" et25 Apex wheels) on the front of my 1M.
This is the tire I've been running on back and was trying to figure out whether I could run that tire square (ie., same size both front and back). Unfortunately, too much rubbing on both the front and back of fender liner. Certainly possible that a tire in that size that has less square shoulders would fit, but the R1 -- regrettably -- is a no go. What the largest tire that others have run? Thanks. Neil |

Is the rubbing on the outside edge of the tire only, if so do you have enough space between the tire and the strut/spring to use a rim with more ET?

Don't think that this would be affected by wheel offset and, in any case, I have only just enough clearance to the strut (perhaps 1/8"). Neil |

i thought you said fender liners are " wear parts"? I have been running this setup for a little while now.. sure it rubs on parking lot turns.. but I don't get any rubbing at any other times... Course I am also at the stock ride height as well... |

My 265-35/19 Hoosier A6s rub a little bit. Not enough to slow me down.
