My rims are 4.75" backspacing, nearly 1/4" further IN the wheel well compared to the MMs you are talking about, and my 35s rub... Trust me on this, pick a rim with at least 5" backspacing, or get a 6" lift...

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but what are you rubbing?


I see people with leveled trucks running 35s on stock wheels and some rubbing the UCA, but what about leveled trucks with aftermarket wheels and not a whole lot of BS. I don't care if the tire sticks past the fender, but does that mean a 35 won't fit leveled because the wide tire/wheel will hit the fender when turning? Any incite here guys? I know not in the tire and wheel section, but worth a shot.
