Spare rubs bumper - what would you do?

[Kenny]

If it is a very small amount of rub, I'd suggest you just drop the tire to 15lbs (or something very low, but still driveable) and leave it alone. Note you wanted economical solutions - hard to beat free!

I’m in - thanks

More importantly, did you paint your rims? Powedercoat? Stickers?

I thought they were Moab rims but the little red Jeep is missing...

RC spare tire relocation bracket then go to Lowe’s get some footstool feet and some rubber hose or pvc to extend the isolators

Great idea

Drop some air and forget about it

just upgraded my Sport S plastic bumper to “take off” Rubicon steel rear - and the 33” KO2 rubs. I doubt I would every need a spare.

Options
Spare tire delete
Shave down the spare
Let the air out and maybe stop the rubbing
Get a 32” KO2 and live with the difference
Tire relocation kit

What would you do? Note: for this exercise you’re not rich

I’d be grateful. You’ve got a heavier burden on the carrier now, and it’s getting support from below.

Bump.

I also have steel bumpers on a Sahara, with BFGoodrich ko2's 285/70/17's... Is it suppose to rub for everyone?

I added a spare tire relocation bracket to my sport S when I added 285/70-17. No problems.

 

[Warz2k4]

Is that required?
