Long story short, I broke a CV in July off road and have had problems with every other one since; until I took the crank out of the
t-bars, **I still have the keys installed** and now it rubs the back of the inner fender ONLY in Reverse. I have 33" Nitto Mud Grapplers that are
getting down to no tread that won't pass August inspection. I've started looking for new tires but a 17" rim is a royal PITA.

I feel like I'm stuck at 285/70/17 (33.0"x11.5") but hate the narrow tire compared to the 12.68" width of my Nitto's.

...Any options anyone?

Trim up and zip tie things out of the way. Narrower wheels. Wheels with a better offset fro clearance. Pick your solution.
