Default Will Nitto Mud Grappler Tires rub on a 4" Teraflex lift?

Mud grappler tires are 13.50 (37x13.50x18). Will they rub on a Teraflex 4" lift running 18x9 KMC XD's when deflated for rock crawling?

Wheels are KMC Monsters (18x9) with a -12 offset.

Backspacing will be the key

what's the backspacing?


those are some meaty tires. you might expect a little rubbing on the front lower control arms.
My mistake I meant 13.50

backspacing is 4.57

My 40x15.50 Grapplers rub at full steering lock on the upper control arms. I have 20x9 wheels with 4.53" backspacing and -12 offset. Oh, and I have a 8 3/4" lift so I'm sure a 4" lift with 13.50 tires will rub as well on that backspacing. And say goodbye to your stock front bumper if you haven't already.
