Default 2.5 and 35's

Ey guys I just installed my 2.5" tf bb tonight and I was reading that 35's will not fit on the four doors. Is this true? Because I have 5 wheels and tires on their way right now, and they are gonna fit. Right?

as long as you have enough backspacing on your wheels you should be good, worse comes to worst just do a little fender trimming

Yes they'll fit, depending on your back spacing. I'm running an AEV 2" bb and 35's no issues with 3.75" back spacing.

being that you have new wheels coming, is it safe to say they have 4.5" of backspacing or less? if so, you should be good for the most part clearing your 35's. where you will have a problem is with the rear corner of your pinch seam as it will make contact with your tread when off roading. fortuantely, cutting the corner off is easy to do and can be done in minutes with a hacksaw or sawzall.

Any write-ups on trimming the pinch seam?
