i was able to get my hands on a set of soft 8's for $100. they have 5" backspacing though will i be able to run a 12.50 tsl on them?

 

it'll be close but it should work. at least, you shouldn't have any issues with the rear tires making contact with the way bar link ends but you may have some rubbing up front at a full turn.

 

I am running Mamba M4 18" with 5" of backspacing with 35" KM2s and

rubbed at full turn on the air dam. Removing the air dam is only like 6

screws though.

 

thanks for the help. hopefully they will work.

 

You wouldn't happen to have any pics of your Rig on here would ya? I went with the same wheels you have but only in 17" with 33" Crushers. I am waiting for my neighboor who is doing all the work for me to post the pics and well I am a little anxious to see them on a Jeep. Incase everyone is wondering I am in Iraq right now. Well thanks I will look in your profile to see if you have a gallery..

 

Just watch out if you air down when going wheelin. my 35's with 4.5 BS rub in a few places in the front including the frame.

 

I'll try to get some pics this weekend for ya. Did you happen to order yours thru AAFES? That's where I got mine from.

 

I run 5.75 inches backspacing without rubbing at full flex. want to know how check out my frankenlift in my signature! Very cool! I like the backspacing tight to keep the mud and water off me when I have the doors off. Also I am legal in all states and my Jeep is mean!!!!
