well i bought a lifted cherokee a couple weeks ago ('96 sport, 3 inch rustys lift, cragar softs and 31 inch goodyear A/T) and i have a real bad rubbing problem when turning full lock, not on the fenders though! problem is i dont know what my wheel backspacing is. should four inches be enough? if it isnt then would these work: http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ry_Code=ALLIED ?

if i were to get these how much do you think i could get for my cragar soft 8s? they are in good condition.

thanks,
joma

Hmmm...I've got almost the same setup on mine! '96, 3" lift, Cragar Soft 8's w/4" bs...the only difference is that I've got 30's. I have no issues whatsoever. I was hoping to move up to 31's or 32's next time I need tires. Guess I should pay attention to see what others say about your setup.

thing is i dont know for sure if my back spacing is 4 or not. i kinda hope it isnt because then i could get 4s and hopefully be good

Gee oh Dee

Pull a rim and measure your backspacing.

JOMA

thats what i was gonna do tomorrow. i hope it isnt 4 inches because then im in a bed position

Gee oh Dee

I doubt they are. If they are really 31s you shouldn't rub.

JOMA

okay sweet. how much do you think i could get for the four? im hoping around 200

Gee oh Dee

I would expect less.

You can get rims with proper backspacing for $55 each new.

But $200 OBO is fair.

JOMA

i would wanna come out of this ordeal with spending less then $100 total

Gee oh Dee

Good luck.

JOMA

haha thanks, im only hoping but thats my goal

about how far out would these wheels make the tires stick out?:

whats rubbing? your control arms when you turn hard? i have 33x12.5 with 4 1/4 BS no rub

JOMA

its defnitly on the LCAs so i dont know why these tires are rubbing. maybe they are bigger then 31s? i bought the jeep with everything on it

What does it say on the tires? Depending on the rim stock bs is around 5-5.5 I had my 31x10.5 on stock rims with very little rubbing on full lock, then ran them with 1.25" spacers with zero rubbing stick out pretty good too, now im runming the same tires just on rims with 3.5" bs and they stick out alot but with flat flares they look badass. any rim with 4.5 or less back spacing you shouldnt rub. U can sell cragers for 100$-200$ used. U can by steelies with proper back spaceing all 4 for some were around 240$ shipped to ur door. U can battle rubbing with rims, spacers, lcs's and washers.
