the 13.50's are very wide and 4.5" of BS is way too much for them. you will see a lot of rubbing at a full turn unless you install wheel spacers or, add a bunch of washers to your steer stops as mentioned.

Also watch your swaybar disco bolts on the top. Had those wheels and ripped a inside sidewall on a brand new BFG KM-2 37" tire wheelin in the Rubicon. Driver side came up on a rock, stuffed it in the fender and POW! Bolt head threw the sidewall. Toyo's are way wider......My 2 cents. Wheels look cool though! Got lots of compliments on them.

keep the tires as they are simply the best out there - at least, in my opinion anyway. as far as the wheels go, keep em and just get wheelspacers.

Hmm, I've got 12.5 inch ProComps on ProComp wheels with 4.75" of backspacing and I have a set of Toyo's being delivered tomorrow. I went and measured stop to stop last night and it appears I have plenty of room for the 13.5" Toyos. Am I missing something? It really looks like everything is going to fit just fine on my rig but I could be totally wrong!

it's not just the wide width of the toyo's that makes this a problem but rather, it's also the fact that they are a very tall 37.

Gotcha! Thanks for the PM reply as well. I think I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and just go with the EVO Lever in the rear as well

What's the smallest amount of spacer I get away with? I think the smallest I've seen is 1.25". Will that work?
