    ive been told that if you use either a 16x8 or 17x8 wheel with 4.5'' backspacing you should have relatively no issues with the rubbing. if you do its minor trimming of the mud flaps

    Hey I'm curious how bad was the rubbing when you had those 33's fitted? Did you downsize because it was just hitting the mud flap and front plastic, or would it have hit the frame too?

    I'm asking because I may end up going with 285/75/16" (33's) radials instead of better fitting sized Swamper and with your offset, the outer edge of your wheels only sticks out 1/4" more than my 8" wheels with 4" backspace.

    By the way it looks good man.

    Hey chad08, It didn't rub in the frame, but It was so damn close, that is the reason I didn't put them, the people at the tire shop recommend me to go with a smaller size, because if for some reason I was out there off roading I could have some big problems with the frame on the turns.
