Default Just ordered a set of 35" KM2's and the new series 98 pro-comp

I finally bit the bullet on a set of 35x12.50x15 KM2's mounted on a the new pro-comp series 98 monster mod rock crawler rim (just the updated version of the series 97). With all the holiday sales and free shipping I just couldn't wait any longer.

I was wondering if anyone had the new series 98 rim in a 15x8" with the 3.75 BS. I have read that most of the cragars require grinding, but they are all 4" BS. It was brought to my attention that the procomps with the 3.75" BS arent having the issues with needing to grind the caliper.

Lastly if anyone could post a few pics with 3.75" BS and these type of rims so i can drool over your pics until mine arrive, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Don't have those rims or tires, but same size. 15x8 3.75" BS Cragar V5 with 35x12.5R15 Wrangler MT/R Kevlar. I DID have to grind some of the caliper, EVEN with 3.75" BS. About 1/16" off the top and bottom of the face of the caliper bracket.

sweet thanks for the photo.

I'm prepared to grind if need be, I just figured if the procomp's were in some small way different than the cragars so I DIDNT have to grind, id give it a shot. Do you have any pics showing how far the tires stick out?

Best I have. They do stick out about 2-3" past the flare, but I'm chopped. Plus, I've narrowed the bottoms of the flare even more now, after those were taken, so it's even more now.
