Is anyone running LT 295/75R16 BFG AT. on Crager 397 soft 8,s 16x8 .
with out any lift? Are you having any problem with rubbing when the steering is turned all the way to either direction.Would the 5" back space on these wheels cause a rubbing problem. TIRE DIA. 33.2 X 11.5 WIDE.

THANKS FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME.

I'm not running this setup but can tell you that running 33's will most likely cause rubbing of your air dam at a full turn. Factory BS is 6.25" so 5" of BS should help prevent any other rubbing except for on the fenders at a full stuff.

 

With 4" of backspacing, 12.5" tires won't stick out more than an inch or two at most--so depending on the state you live in, I'd go with the 4" bs instead of the 5" bs. That way, if down the road you decide on a budgest boost (or coil spring) lift, you won't run into rubbing issues at flex with 5" bs wheels.

 

Thanks for the info.,considering the 295/75 16 tire is only 11.5 wide and not 12.5 wide,do you think this will help eliminate the fender rub as well.Do you think a 2" coil spring lift will also help if needed?
THANKS AGAIN FOR ANY INFO.

 

I have 4.75" of BS on my wheels now (almost 5") and my 12.50 wide tires stick out about 2" past my flares now. I do not have any rubbing problems with them. Going with 4" of BS (more like 3.75" as it is a more common BS), your tires would be sticking out about 3" past your flares and this can be a potential problem with your local law enforcement if you have fender laws in your state. Just something to consider

 

hey guys with a 4 in lift whats the most and least backspacing i should have without any rubbing? and with no other mods? everything else is stock for now. I was thinking about 6.25 or is that too much backspacing and whats the least amount i should go? 4.25?
