[ouchman]

[ouchman]

got some, working on what to do rim wise

stock rims are 7" i believe doug. You will need at most 4" of back spacing. Most go with 3.37" back spacing. I have 3.75 and i never rub.

the 8" rim wouldnt be a problem, in fact thats what you want. its just the lack of backspacing that would suck, you'd rub turning

[Nosilla]

Doug you could do spacers to make up for the back spacing, or you can adjust your stops so you don't turn to tight.

My 33x10.50 rub at full lock on the control arms, 8" stock Ravine wheels w/5" bs

My 33x12.50 on 8" rims w/3.75" bs on my YJ rubbed a bit, so I assuming the 5.0 bs on stock rims would rub like crazy.
