15.50" wide tires under bushwackers???
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?

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.
