    Has anyone had Off Road Premium wheels with 285/70/17 or 255/80/17 rub SPC UCA's without spacers?

    I used BFG KO2 on ORP wheels with no wheel spacers on OME Nitro lift + SPC UCA and Later ELKA 2.5DC lift with SPC UCA. I did not notice any rubbing marks on tires.

    Suspensions are not black and white. How a tire sits in the wheel well is also affected by tire shape and manufacturer, not just size. A BFG KO2 285/70/17 is shorter and has slightly less contact patch compared to say a Yokohama Geolander. BFG KO2 C load is advertised as 32.8" diameter. Anyone who has run it knows it is closer to 32.4" mounted and on the rig at roughly 32psi. Where the Geolander is much closer to a true 33" tire mounted on the rig at roughly 32psi. Contact patch and sidewall design make a huge difference as well. KO2's get narrow as it comes up from the sidewall to the side lugs where the Geo stays a bit mreo square. All of that means that the tires are shaped completely differently and occupy space inside the wheel well completely differently as well.
