I saw this new Rebel at the dealer today. Dealer upgraded with TRX wheels/tires and Fox coil overs sitting on the lot.
It looks like the tire flexed enough on a corner to rub on the upper control arm.
Thanks to this forum, I’m waiting on my BORA wheel spacers to arrive before installing my TRX take offs.

It touched barely but it’ll mess up things without a spacer, i can’t wait to see yours

If I get a 2 inch space for TRX wheels, would it rub the upper control arms?

No way it would just be another 1/2” away from the upper control arm

I’m still waiting for my Bora spacers, hopefully they arrive soon.

Where are you at i now have two Bora 1.5” spacers extra since they take so long.

Here’s a few pictures for ya & the upper control arms touching i ordered Bora 1 1/2” spacers for the front

So the tire is rubbing on the control arm, isn't that bad?

are you aware that the stock upper control arm is re enforced plastic with a metal cap on top. try sticking a magnet to it underneath.
suggest changing those out to something better like Rough Country.

Yes i wouldn’t drive it like that so 1.5” spacers fixed the issue

My Bora 1.25” spacers arrived today. The tires stick out a bit more than I thought they would. I had rubbing on both sides, a little on the passenger, a lot on the drivers. Some massaging with the heat gun fixed it for now.

TRX has a wide body kit which won't let the tire rub. Can't find that on the market at this moment

The wider trx suspension also moves the tires further out from the body. Between the suspension and wider fenders, the TRX has plenty of room!
I’ll be getting a leveling lift soon, and that will help, after the heat gun treatment it’s not hitting any longer. At the angle the wheels are turned when it rubbed, it would be unlikely to rub with the lift, unless rock crawling which I won’t be doing.

Looks great i also had to do the fender liner mod and have a maybe 1 1/2” front @ back revel links to lift and it never rubs even in Aero mode i can use entry/exit too but no turning then it would rub but it’s good for loading & unloading

TRX suspension is 3” wider on both sides

Also factory air pressure for those wheels & tires is 37# I’m running 36# changed my set points to 37 with Tazer DT

They look great , sticking out doesn't look all that bad really.

I picked up some TRX take offs as well. (No beadlock) I was already running BORA spacers F&R so I should be good and a little rubbing on the plastic fender spat on each side. They go on Friday as they are going to swap in my sensors and rebalance just to make sure. The drivers side required a little more trimming and heat gun manipulation. Good to go and looks great!

Look nice, do you have news about your spacer

thanks
