Hi guys
I have a 2002 dual cab hilux
I have fitted a set of 31x10.5x15 muddies on -26 offset sunnies.
I also fitted a 2 inch toughdog lift kit, but the tyres still rub when under the slightest bit of compression and whilst turning. The torson bars have been wound up a bit...theres about 20mm left to the top bumpstop and about 30-35mm for the bottom bumpstop..
Is there anyideas about something i can do to stop this happening? As i think the torsion bars are wound far enough, is it possible to move the diff forward or anything like that?
Cheers for your help

Seems strange mate? I have a 2003 Dual cab with the same wheels although I am not sure on offset. I have 2" lift as well and have no issues.

Did you get a wheel alignment done after suspension lift and new wheels on? Shouldn't be any need to move the diff and you don't want to be winding up the torsion bars too much more.

A 2" suspension lift should allow you to run up to 33"'s with no real issue.

The only things that I can think of are wheel alignment, rim offset or perhaps the torsion bars are shot (did you replace them when you did the lift?)

Moved to correct section.

Yeah i replaced the torsion bars and everything. Under about 10mm compression and turning, the tyre rubbs. Even with no mudflaps

Rim offset? Ive 31x10.5 on our work lux, no lift with flares and mud flaps still on with no rubbing...

How much are the torsions wound up mate? In talking about minimal conpression and turning at the same time is when it rubs. Rim offset is -26

I had stock suspension with 32's on a 0 offset rim. Hardly ever scrubbed...

As far as I know they haven't been wound up, havnt had a need to change them, ride certainly isn't to harsh. Hilux doesn't do a whole lot of 4wdriving but it has been up the high country and offroad on a few other occasions and still never rubbed. When I got these rims I was told they were a zero offset but I've never checked.

imo wrong off set. 0 is the generally agreed bet for 97-05 lux.

i have 31*10.5r15 no rub

Yeah ur prob right. I was going to go the 0 offset, but these came up at a price i couldnt refuse! Plus they look good

Throw a photo up of them

I had a 2001, with 31's, just wound it up, no rubbing what so ever

rim offset is wrong mate. u have landcruiser offset. go for around 0. and you will have no probs with 32s

even with landcruiser offset on that size tyre I dont rub.... and that was before the sas with stock suspension. very strange

Ill put a pic up tonight to show you what i mean. Cheers for the help!

Rims in offset 0 should fix it and you can fit tire up to 265/75/R16s too with no issues. I made pretty much the same mistake by getting -22 offset rims with 31x10.5xR15s and had the same issues you did.

Let us know how it all works out.

I win! I scrub 225x75x16's

I know this is an old post, but 225x75/16's shouldn't scrub at all. I'm running 245/75/16's and there's no scrub at all before and after putting aftermarket torsion bars in.

It's all in the offset, run enough negative offset and any tyre will scrub.

0 offset I would say will scrub on turning,
My guess is you were told -26 but have something different
I'm running -20 and 16x8 with 33's and when I got my car it had 2" Ome all round
Had no sides at all in road or loaded, only issues was when flexing 1 wheel as I would hit the cab before the bum stop, but a 1/2" body lift fixed that,

My next set if wheels will be a 17x9 -40 or 17x8 -30 with 285/75r17
