First one is stock 15x7 rims with 235/75R15 general grabbers AT2 stock suspension, only had rubbing on hard left turn on LCA.
Second is still stock suspension, same tires, but with 15x8 d windows, I have negative arch in rear so with some load or a big bump I rub on rear flares, no rubbing on LCA

Lift that sucker! I'm liking the stock tire swing. I wonder if it would hold a 33x12.50 baja claw tho..

Not knocking any who has spacers; but i don't understand why guys use them when soft 8s are so cheap. Aren't 4 spacers more expensive then 4 sft 8s??

Cause past owners don't know what the eff they're doing. And force us to fix every single piece little by little.

But yeah, I woulda never chosen that route either.
