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.
