Pics?

Did it solve your problems?

Honestly my 35" toyo/pro comp combo used to rub q tad and I think those wheels were 4.5 bs

Yep, haven't rubbed since they went on. With the old 35's and 4.5bs, I would only rub on harder hits while turning. (crossing deeper drainage channels while turning, or turning up into driveways with some speed).

I don't have any pics looking down the sides, but this one kinda shows where they sit in relation to the stock rear bumper and flares. Click image for larger version

So you are running 3.0 be essentially.

Have you wheeled it hard without problems?

No, too much snow the few times I was out since they went on. But from poser'ing on a big boulder, it doesn't look like I'll have any problems, though I will need to recheck once I get rid of the body lift.

Most, if not every wheel has recesses at the back between the stud holes. I run 1 inch spacers and did not touch the studs at all. I measured every thing, and even 3/4" spacers don't require stud cutting. With the stock wheels anyway.... All you have to do is measure your studs, take off to that result the thickness of the spacers, and make sure that the excedent lenght is not greater than the recess holes deepness...
