I dont remember my backspacing... I think it was somewhere around 4" or 4.5", and 31x10.5 tires. At full stuff and turning I'd rub my bumper and the rear of the front fender. So I took Dave's advice and took a hammer to the body seam, and cut the front fender. keep in mind I didn't run a body lift. I think if you install a 2 or 3" body lift you wont have the issues with your front tires rubbing. But I've met a few kia owners that were running 30x9.5's with no rubbing at all. I took the bumper off for a better approach angle, here in NV there are lots of rocks and it just made things easier. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Dennis- i'm driving a really old really beat up Chevy 4x4. but if i had the money, ROKIA would be mine!!! course I'd need to figure something out with highway driving. Full hydro steering on ROKIA I don't think I'd take it above 45mph.
