Now before anyone goes into the whole regear b.s I have a simple question.
I just bought some 33x12.50 A/Ts and I have a set of TJ 15x8 Canyon wheels that I want to use. Now my question is will it rub the leafs or the LCAs not at full lock. I don't care about fenders or anything like that

Being on stock Jeep wheels, they are probably going to rub at least the control arms bad, might rub the leaf springs too. Best way to put that wide of a tire under it is to buy some 15x8's with 3.75 - 4" backpacking.

That's what I'm afraid of. I guess tomorrow I'll mount them and find out lol

What's the backspacing on those wheels? I tried 12.5's on a set of stock 7" wheels once, didn't even make it out of the driveway before I took them off because they rubbed so bad on the frame and control arms way before full steering lock.

Not sure on the backspacing though. I think they are canyon wheels. It's a good looking combo imo

Ravines btw if anyone stumbles across this thread. Close to the leafs but no rubbing. Stuffs in the rear wells very well. Eats the front out fender though
