So I'm picking up some 33/15.50/15 TSL's this weekend and also might be snagging some pocket style Bushwackers off a part out Cherokee. I'm on 5"s of lift right now. I think the wheels have 3.75" backspacing or something near there and i'm going to have to run adapters to get them to work which adds another inch. Anyone know would the Bushwackers open the fenders up enough to still allow me to turn my wheels full lock?

 

Your gonna need a pretty serious offset wheel to clear the control arms. My 12.50s rub the lower arms with 15x7 wheels at 3.75 back space

 

Yeah I know their going to be sticking out aways, that why im trying to cover them some haha

 

How? My 12.5s on 15x8 and 3.75 backspace don't rub. They didn't rub the stock control arms or my aftermakets that I have now.

 

Not quite sure. Ive got stock steel 15x7 wheels and 1.25" spacers which total 3.75 backspace. I can get the tire to rub the control arm at full lock. maybe my steering stop is gone lol

 

Depends on the tire because not all tires are the same size even when they say they are. My old 35x12.50x15 MTZs were exactly 35" tall and 12" wide on a 15x8 wheel and my buddys KM2s on the same wheel and same size tire measured 33.5" tall and just shy of 11" wide. Same air pressure too.

 

Procomp mud terrains. The original design not the new one.

 

So if anyone even know's how much the pocket style bushwackers open up you wheel wells, I could probably figure it out from there.

 

15.5" will have poor traction offroad. Unless you are in the snow or sand.

 

Im about 50-50, sand - trails.

 

ProComps are one of the ones that run a good inch small, the Xterrain is usually on about 1/2" shorter than what the sidewall says. The MTs and ATs are a good inch sometimes more depending on wheel size.
