4 inch works just rubs with 16.5x12 wides

A little Rubbing is not a big deal but f***ing the fenders is

Simply not correct... I have over 200k running a 4" revtek lift and 37x13.5x17... Offset is the key.

4 inch works just rubs with 16.5x12 wides

Why would anyone want to run 12" wide wheels...

None the less, the correct offset would fix that.

A little Rubbing is not a big deal but f***ing the fenders is

I have no fender damage at all. I have trimmed the bumper on the lower front, otherwise nothing else.

Yea 4 inch on 37s looks GOOOOOD shoot id run 38s if i could of found the michelin 16s!

And yea I run 12 wides I wish i could get a set of the old school 14 wides!

Who said anything about f***** up fenders? Rubbing is all and all you have to do is trim like 1/2 inch off the bumper plastic then its fixed.

It's hard to find the correct backspaceing on 16.5. But how you determine the back space on the wheels? The guy said the wheels should 4.5 back space but he couldn't Remember .

 

[steele86]

I have a coworker that has a4 inch on 35x12.5x17 and the bottom of the fenders are just f***ed but who knows if the wheels are right

 

[CSIPSD]

More then likely his wheels hang out of the fender wells a ton.

The wheels I am running now have 4.5" of backspace.

 

[steele86]

i measured the back side of my wheels 4 5/8" do i should be fine then

 

[CSIPSD]

You should be fine.

 

[steele86]

well ill fine out in a month or two

I have an 02 with a 4" lift 35x12.50R17 and 17x9 fuel hostages that have 4.5 bs and-12 off set and im running 2" wheel spacers. Without my oe style flares i had no rubbing of sheet metal only the corners of the lower valance of the bumper. With the flares i only rub if i hit a big enough bump at full turn
