Will they rub?
I just recently instaled a 6" suspension lift and I am looking for a new set of tires. I'm wondering if anyone knows if a 13.50 will fit without rubbing the suspension, and if anyone has any ideas of what tires i should get. I'm looking for an aggressive look, but with in reason. Thanks

Depends on the width and backspacing of the whee you use and whether or not you have a 4x2 or 4x4.

What wandell said. Lol But really that will make the difference on whether it rubs or your tires stick out 4 inches from the wheel well. How tall of a tire are you looking at?

How wide are the wheels? If they are 8 to 9 inches wide, you will probably be ok with maybe some minor trimming.
