    Annnnnddd this is the 35,456,959,235th thread with this exact question. OP, I had to cut some plastic, and use a BFH to smash down the pinch weld so I wouldn't rub.

    That's 3.75" backspacing, so at least you won't be hitting the control arms or anything. I'd imagine you will need a moderate amount of trimming, as noted above.

    As Pyroskier said cut and hammer. Btw I have the same backspacing so use a BFH.

    Well now that question A is answered how is the gearing on 33s i'm assuming that with a 4.10 will work out fine with a v6?

    I just read a thread saying that a 4.10 is good for daily drivers and 4.56 is good for offroaders.
