Default AEV Pintler rubbing question

I dropped my wheels off to get tires mounted w/duratrac 315s. My installer said with the backspacing of the Pinlters they will still rub. I am ok with adjusting the stops to keep them but is he right, 35x12s on AEVs dont have enough backspacing.. I have a TF 2.5 coil going on too.

I don't really believe that... I'm pretty sure they will be just fine.

I don't either. I'm running the same setup with no issues. (Pintlers on 35" x 12.5" on a 2.5" TF coil lift)

The pintlers are plenty fine. I have a buddy running 14.50 wide crawlers on them with that lift. It's ok

I run a 2.5 Rock Krawler with Goodyear Kevlar 35 12.5 17 with AEV Savegre and I do Rub at full lock one way.

The other way I do not rub

This is on my 2door 2010 Rubi
