Default 315/75r16 on 16x8 bs 4 7/8 question...

Hi,

Is someone have or had this Setup : 315/75r16 with a 16x8 backspacing wheel of 4 7/8 and a 3" suspension lift without wheel spacer ?? I'm wondering if i'll rub in flex or when steering gonna be full axle ?

For now I'm with 285/75r16 and it's ok and I'm looking for to move to 35"...but I would like to avoid using spacer....Could I ??

If I need spacer with this setup I'll be to much out the fenders..

Thanks for helps !

Karl

I like the way that looks. I've also been thinking of switching to that size when my 33s go out. Are those the ace sliders?

4 7/8" seems like it isn't enough. I think I'd go for at least 4.5"
