I know there are TONS of threads but i can't read them all. What kind of rubbing would i have with the TF 2.5" with 35x12.50 on 17s with 5 inches of backspacing? On pavement, turning, off-road, and what kind of articulation to rubing out?

 

If you keep your factory air dam on, you will rub it for sure when turning. Disconnected and flexing on the trail, you might have some minor rubbing on the front fender flares. I say might because with 5" of BS, your tires might tuck under the flares just enough to clear the edges... don't know for sure though. As for the rear, you might have the same problem as well as some possible minor rubbing of the rear bumper if yours is still factory. It's hard for me to say for sure as when I ran that setup, I had wheels with different backspacing and aftermarekt bumpers.
