[Re: StockRaider] #1013507 12/01/10 06:48 PM Joined: May 2010 Posts: 307 Norfolk, VA S socal1200r Mudrunner Quote I know this is a little OT, but what is the minimum backspacing required to run wider tires? my friend wants to grab a set of steelies for his raider but needs to know the required backspacing to run 33x12.5 Hopefully someone will chime in here, but I'm thinking that big of a tire will definitely cause some rubbing issues without a lift of some kind, regardless of the backspacing? I used to have a Jeep Comanche 4wd pickup, running 31's on stock Jeep alloys, and I had to change the lower control arms in order to avoid rubbing. Barely cleared the inner fenders, but without those S-shaped LCAs from a Grand Cherokee, they would've rubbed for sure down there. 1989 Monty SWB, 2.6L w/MT, 15" alloys, 265/75 Dunlop Radial rovers, rear air shocks, Weber 32/36, SQ oil cooler, (SOLD Oct 2012) Southeast VA, USA Re: Can I run 16 inch wheels on a 91 pajero?

You may get some rubbing (very slight) in back during full compression. You WILL need to trim your front bumper end caps or replace the bumper entirely to avoid rubbing there. HTH.

I liked the ATs on 8s for the front and 10s for the rear, made good for canyon racing.
