|  CC01 Rims and wheels question
I just bought the RC4WD OEM 1.9 white rims and the Dirt grabber 1.9 tires. Did I make a mistake and buy tires and rims that will be to big for my CC01 Jeep wrangler? Should I have gotten the 1.5's? Thanks. **Edit** the rims and wheels are still in the mail |

the dirt grabbers are a great size tire for the CC01's. IMO maybe a little small for the wrangler body. should look good though on those wheels.

Just got them in the mail and they are to big and rub. I also cant turn because the wheels are hitting inside the fenders. Will 1.5's work? what size are the stock tires? EDIT*** That was strange. After looking under my truck the steering was not rubbing anymore. Must of been my raidio or something because it was acting like it wouldnt steer. Anyways its working now. The tires do rub when thye are stuffed but that is ok. Thanks for the tips. Last edited by grimgard; 11-07-2009 at 01:01 PM. |

the stock tires are 3.5" the grabbers are 3.8" is your suspension really saggy cause you shouldn't be rubbing very much if at all. here was my jeep on trail doc XL's.....4.25"  |

 no rub when sitting still or driving  total rub. Is that normal? The stock tires didnt rub at all. I dont mind rub when stuffed and maybe I should throw some spacers in my shocks the stiffen them up. | |

Stock tires are smaller, hence the reason they didn't rub. Those tires are larger. Only way to eliminate rubbing is to either do a body lift, a suspension lift, or my favorite.. trim the body. | |

the different offset wheels are another reason it rubs. like toyo said you can reduce or possibly eliminate the tires rubbing with a little lift, body lift, or fender trimming.

I think 80mm shocks would be the sure fire fix for the tire rub. I have a set of 1.55's with Mud Thrashers on the way and will put some 80mm's on when I see how bad the rub is.

Longer shocks doesn't automatically mean "lift" or more travel. You'll still be limited to the suspension setup, especially if factory setup is used. I am really diggin' my newest rear link setup. Only thing I get hung up on is the driveline and differential. Up close....  Distance....  | |

After running mine on two different days they rims and tires work and fit perfectly. Even on full stuff my 55T has more than enough power to pull it and over the rocks. I am glad I picked the 1.9's over the 1.55's
