Hi , Im New In The forum And if been reading and think you can help.

I have a wrangler x 2008 and my dad without knowing bought me some tires , 285 - 75, 16 at first i noticed that at full steering it hits a bar down there. then i bought some 8" spacers and everithing is ok but i feel something in my hands when im driving like some vibration when i steer a little bit going at 30 mph, i dont know if thats normal so i dont know what should i do.
tHANKS...

275 is the widest that will fit without spacers or different wheels.
Sounds like something is wonky; go to a tire shop and let them check. Could be balance, could be the spacers are installed wrong. Could be cheap unbalanced spacers...

Tento, there are too many things that it might be for us to guess.
My advice is to look at the quick/cheap/easy things first and then move on to the exotic.
Check the wheels for balance, the steering damper for excess play, the wheel bearings, various bushings, driveline lash, rotors, drifeshafts, etc.
I had a company car once with an annoying shimmy and it turned out to be a badly balanced driveshaft....

ok so today i went to service and the guy says that is normal because of the tires so i dont k now if thts true but i was wandering if i buy the rubicon tire 255 76 17 whith other wheels and good year tires a/t would my problem solve???
or if i buy mud tires smaller???
i dont know what to do it just dosent feel right, and when thw car was up i moved the tires ant the soun is still.
ok dont know just asking so if anyone knows something.
thank you very much
