Guess I didn't edit my post in time. How far do your tires stick out past the flares since you went with the narrow ones?

i'll measure when I get a chance, with a 1'' difference in back spacing compared to my old rims an tires that are 2 inches wider I thought they would stick out far but they really don't. I think they look really good. every where I go I get compliments on my jeep. it's crazy.

thanks
Larry

Its been awhile, just wanted to run it for a while to test it a bit...

I need a couple of inches of clearance, the breakover angle is in need of some help, but thats about all am going to change...





As for the xenons, they are worth every penny

justajeep, can you remind us what you have on your rig as far as suspension goes? Also, by break over angle are you refering to the body being too low and getting hung up or high siding?

No idea on backspacing but I would prefer to use the MOABs I already have with some spidertrax spacers.

Thanks.
Well RAcer my 2" BDS lift comes off tomorrow morning, N2Rock is helping me and we're going to turn around and put my kit on his auto 4-dr. So I'll be sitting on 2.5" TF BB for a month maybe before I go to a real kit and I actually think it'll look better with the Xenon's , will know tomorrrow....I know this thread is old, I'm just bored on a Friday and I need a margarita and a wrench in my hand....and stuff

I have a 1" body and 2" BB, I cut the rear pinch seam to the welds and pulled the inner fenders. Thats it and Im rubbing a little in the rear, it cuts into the tread a little.

Im glad I installed a 3/16 skid in place of the stock one, its got real deep scrapes all over it... thats why its there, but it does high center.

This is compared to a stock Rubi,
