Another 3" lift 33" tire question

I plan on installing the full 3" OME lift. I'm also planning on 17in Ballistic Jesters and 285/70r17 Duratrac's. I don't really do any off-roading though I will be on logging roads occasionally. Is there any way I can avoid rubbing other than a CMC? I've heard wheel spacers do the job but i'm a bit skeptical about that. Any advice? I know that It might be a bit unrealistic but I'd still like to try

 

Depending on your offset and bs of the jesters you may not have to do the cmc at all and just get away with some slight fender trimming.

 

I plan to get the Jesters with 5.5" backspacing. Do you have to worry about rubbing? And I have a buddy who gave me 1.25" wheels spacers. Would that make any difference?

 

Flat the pinch weld, also if you are going with 5.5 bs you will rub like a mofo.. that 1" makes all the difference

 

Alright well the 4.5" are the same price so I might as well go with that

 

Shoot for a 4.5 bs if you can

 

I have XD Addicts with 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset wrapped with 285/75/16 duratracs, with bilsteins set at 2.5" in the front. I only have rubbing at full crank in reverse that I've noticed so far (had it for a couple days now). I live in a town with pretty bad roads, steep entries to shopping centers and a lot of stuff that I thought would make it rub, and it hasn't yet.

So with a 3" lift and the 4.5" backspacing you should be good for normal driving, and if you hit the trails and start to rub, just trim it when you get home

What's the offset on those rims?

 

I have heard a 4.5 bs is the best and you can get away with almost no trimming.

 

That's what I got and it only runs every once in a while reversing in full crank

So a 0.5" higher front lift, shouldn't be much trimming if any

 

The offset will be 12 so I should be good to go

 

I would say go with a 4" backspacing and no wheel spacers if you can. I have a eibach + bilstein 3" lift with 33x12.50x15 (4 inch backspacing), and only had to do minimal fender plastic trimming with a box cutter.
