Those are the soft 8's with 5 inch of backspace. Yours with 4 will stick out roughly another inch.

04DrBlur, what is the tire and wheel size on the Jeep in the picture? Is the Jeep lifted? It appears like it might be. If so, by how much? Do you have any rubbing with that size tire? How about a side view picture so we can all see how sharp it looks with the wheels and tires.

The tires are 305/70/16. They are mounted on 16x8 inch rims with 5 inch of backspace. I dont think I had the lift on in these pics just the 3/4 spacer in the front but it now has a 2 inch spacer lift.
