4.5 inch lift, bushwackers, backspacing?
I have been looking all day, and i can't seem to find a solid answer. I am getting a 4.5 inch Rustys lift, and bushwackers, and i wan't to run 33x11.5's. Does anyone have any pics of a 4.5 inch lift, BW's, and 33's? I am trying to figure out what backspacing i need to get so it looks good, but doesn't stick out past the BW's, Utah Cops are strict about it. Thanks

i had bushwackers 33x15x12.50 and 4' backspacing. tires did not stick out past the flares. looked good and tires only rubbed a lil on the control arms at full turn. if 4" is not enough you can always add wheel spacers later.

with bushwackers, you're not gonna get much to stick out past them.
i used to run 33x12.5 on 3.75 and they still tucked under them. looked too wimpy for me, so i changed wheels.

I don't have bushwackers but I have a 4 1/2" lift and 33X10.50's.It is rubbing a little on back bottom on the left front flare when the wheel is turned to the left.

Thanks everyone.... that helped a lot, ill just get the 33x12.5's... i was worried about daily drive-ability and freeway travel? ill be doing some pretty intense wheeling, but it will also be my DD, so it has to have somewhat good manners! are the 12.5's pretty loud? Thanks again
