Ready Lift 2.5 sst 2023 gladiator sport s on stock wheels.

[Eastcoastgladiator]

Hello I am wondering if I can run my stock wheels with a 285 70 17 and have no rubbing issues.
I have read other members on here are running a bigger tire on stock rims but but on seen them on a max tow.
Thanks for any help or input I've only had Jeep for 2 weeks now trying to research before I install lift. txs

I'm wondering if we're my is not a max tow I'm having a issue. Just got lift installed today.
my passenger side tire on hard left driver side turn at full cut my wheel is slightly rubbing on the the sway bar link nut.
I had bought a set of wheel FAST HD SUMMIT but they don't fit lol. been a interesting day.
I ended up running stock wheels but just rub in reverse only full cut drivers side.

you can see the slight rub on wheel and the wear mark on bolt head.

I'm running a 2023 gladiator sport s. Toyo open country 285 70 17 at3.
Debating now a running a 1/4 inch wheel spacers. not sure if i do if wheels will be hub centric still. or look for another after market rim

If its a Max Tow - no issues.

If not, may need some 1.5" wheel spacers. Then you'll be good to go.

think that's issue where it's not a max tow.
Sure there's a forum or debate on wheel spacers. what's your opinion on wheel spacers if correctly installed shouldn't be any issues?
ty you reply

looks like I found the issue. The kits requires you to remove rear sway bar end links and install them on the front. And take ready lift supplied 10 inches sway bar links install on rear.

The width between the two are approximately 3/16 of a inch narrower if rears installed on front. and that should give enough clearance for tire.

I'll head back to dealer tomorrow and post follow-up

You can do that swap in your driveway in about 30 minutes without even jacking the vehicle up, but if you’d rather take it to the dealer that’s an option too

If they are booked tomorrow I'll definitely do that.

I was going to install lift myself but dealer said if I purchase and have everything installed through them they will not give me any issues with future warranty.

I had ordered a set of wheels too that didn't fit fast HD summits wheel spokes rub calipers on spokes. it was a day after installing measuring back spacing and trying figure out issues haha if the wheels would have fit i probably wouldnt have noticed sway bar links tires wouldnt have rubbed. all and all good day. ?
