    I'm running 17x9" rims with a 4.75" BS but it's because of the BFG KM2's. These tires aren't as wide as some other brands out there. Without the spacers they stick out about 1/4". So you will still need Bushwacker flares.
    I'm currently waiting for BW to release the flares for the short bed.
    This is what they look like without the spacers:

    This is how much they stick out with the spacers:

    Surprisingly, my BFG AT's threw rock more than these tires. :confused:
    So far it's not a really big issue. They do throw some rocks.

    These tires pick up rock, but they tend to throw them at low speed. The A/T tires (I guess because the tighter treads) tended to throw the rock at a higher speed.

    Yes! That is the best. But you asked if you could just run them in the front.
