Ok i did a little change on wheels/tires TRX take offs . No rub on the splash guards but close, i am almost up against the upper control arms i can barely fit a thick paper add between the tire & upper control arms. I’ve used spacers before but it’s so close i might try & grind the tip of the upper control arms.

Can you take a pic from the front to show how flush/offset the wheels are with the fenders?
Here’s a few pictures for ya & the upper control arms touching i ordered Bora 1 1/2” spacers for the front

I'm looking to do the same,

My question is any vibration ?? on high speed ??

I want to install the TRX wheels on my laramie and yet waiting for the part numbers.

Many mentioned it might not fit as the hubs are different, I'm glad you did it, Let us know how it goes with the spacers as I tend to just the car offroading.

Carli's performance package with upper control arms will start preorder by next weekhopefully, I believe the TRX wheels should clear.

PS. they look amazing on your car & my plan is to paint the outer rock rims on blue as well.

They have the same bolt pattern & i blasted down the freeway up to 70mph it was very smooth & well balanced & tire sensors are the same & updated perfectly, the only thing is you will need wheel spacers because the tire is wide with that backspace the tire is just against the upper control arms.

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.
