Sure, you'll be just fine. Your tires will just stick out past the flares and give your Jeep a mean look

So the smaller bs number means it sticks out farther? So 3.5 would accualy be beter(keep them from rubing anything) since they are 14.5 wide? Am I thinking of this correctly?

Yes, less back spacing will push your tires out and more will bring them in. The only problem with less back spacing is that some states have fender laws that prohibit your tires from sticking out beyond the flares and of course, the further out you go, the more stress you put on your bearings. IMHO, it's not enough stress to loose any sleep over though

Yeah I wondering about how people will pass inspection when it comes time with lift and tires sticking past the fenders.... I think I'll start a thread.

I do want to see what those tires will look like when they are on. Tires past the fenders look nice.

Yah I'm from Jersey and I had a problem with a lift at inspection on my old YJ.
I even put 30" tires on that I saved specifically for inspection and still had a problem. I think that the tires can't stick past the fenders more than 1" & 1/2 in NJ.
