I ran a 2.5" level (which looks like what you have) and 18x10 moto metals with -12 offset and 4.5 backspacing.And 35/12.50/18 MT's. Minimal rub....some lower valance trimming. That's it. You can take that to the bank from a group of people that know what they are talking about.
Thanks for the help, that is why I joined this place. Do you have any pictures of that setup, or a link? Let me see if I have this right...... With factory wheels without spacers, 35's can rub the upper control arm if they are too wide (like a 325/65/18), but they may not rub anywhere else, right? With an aftermarket wheel; If you have too much backspacing, they will stick out more and could rub the fender wells and lower valance when turning. So I need to look for some that don't stick way out, but give me a little more backspacing than factory wheels, right?
with factory wheels my 315 70 17s rubbed the sway bar at full lock and thats itand from what i understand ur gettin the idea!
