    Bilstein 5100s at .85, 265/75r16 BFG ATKO2, Mickey Thompson Baja Locks 3 5/8th backspacing.
    I recently put on 265/75s on mickey thompson rims with the 3 5/8" backspace. The tires rub on the inner fenders. I trimmed some of the front inner fender and removed the mudflaps. I want to put my bilsteins to .85 so I'm not nose high but I'm concerned it wont be enough to stop the rubbing. Any thoughts? All the posts in the search for rubbing are typically about 285s.

    Lifting isn't going to help with that through the full range of motion. The culprit is your wheels. You can either get different wheels with more backspace or keep trimming until they don't rub anymore.

    What about a 1.5" AAL out back and keep front set on 1.85? And x2 on previous post about the backspacing and your wheels rubbing.....

    If the lift wont help are most guys with wheel spacers just trimming a ton out of the inner fenders? Maybe I will try 1.75 and just go to town with the dremel. I like my wheels.
