Sorry if this is a question that has already been answered but I’m looking to avoid taking the TJ to a shop.
I have a 97 TJ Sahara that was originally running 5x4.5-5x5.5 adapters to run the OEM 2017 17” wheels. I recently switched to the configuration 31x10.5x15 with the original alloy wheels (15x8 5.5 backspacing) During a drive around the block I noticed what seems like a loud steel on steel click noise during every full tire rotation. Prior to this the TJ was running fine and had no noise or issues. I checked my Ujoints and everything seems to be ok.
Could this be a backspacing issue?
Looking for any TJ wisdom I can get before digging deep to possibly find a jeep specialist.
Anything helps! TIA.
