Slight little trim on the rear end of the of inside guards (whatever it's called??) Beautiful. No rubs...nothing! Gopher 57

Welcome to the forum Gopher, as you can see from my post count I'm also fairly new here. I'd love to see some photos of your Jeep with those tyres, please post up some when you get a chance.

@Thanwintun - Did you fit the bar/tyres? If so which tyres did you choose - I am looking to do this as well. Any photos?

I just ordered 5 faken wildpeak at02 275 65 R18 and will fit them on Monday morning. I realize it will rub with bottom corner guards (part of ARB bull bar) at park mode (very likely at aero mode as well) at about 40 degree turn. At park mode, lets say turning left, the gap between outside corner of right wheel and guard is only about 15mm (tires are bald and road tire). So after changing new tire with new AT tread, bigger size (20mm on each side as dia increase is 40mm), they will rub. But it will not rub at NRH and above. But instead of risking rubbing at off road with full articulation, I decided happily to trim the guard. So i am happy to fit them on Monday. After fitting them i will post pictures of how they fit and the way i trim the guard.
Please look at picture. It is in park mode. please rotate.
