I have MB rims and 285/70/17's and didn't have any front rub... but at full flex I had a rub on the rear plastic fender when. (on the outer top bottom of the plastic fender.

 

I have 33" M/T MTZs on Cragar Soft 8s and I have no rubbing at all. They fit great!

 

Quick hijack: Cragar soft 8's, (ESP the 16x8 rim) Have a 5 inch backspace. Isn't that the same backspacing as the factory rims?

 

No, the stock rims have quite a bit more if I remember correctly. Im going from memory but I want to say 6.25"?

 

Lift arrives Monday 03-24!!!! No rubbing for normal driving but the backspace on the ProComps (15 x8 with 3.75 bs) makes this possible without a lift. With the front sway bar disconnected it rubs the fenders front and back pretty hard. TF 2.5 will fix this issue for my 33's.

 

That is exactly right for me as well. The picture doesn't show well, but you can hear it and get under and see how much it really rubs, not too bad but bad enough:



These are what I have exactly (just letters blacked out). So even with the great backspacing, it still hits the plastic fenders on the back during full flex. Not much problem with it, but I don't want to push chances. I will lift a tad later, maybe a BB or even just a 1" body lift.

 

would you have to regear for 33's? Say if you had a Saharah without the luxury of 4:10's?

 

i have 33's and 3.73 gears. A re-gear would be helpful... but it runs fine.

 

i am about to purchase nitto mud 33 11.5 16 for my 16 inch alloys will i have a problem with that on that wheel or with the rubbing?

thanks

 

I don't think it's necessary really. You're only going up about 1" in tire size, assuming you buy a true 33" tire. I went from a 29" to a 32" and the difference was very minimal...
