Well... I figured out why my BFG 33x10.50 stuck out further than I expected.
They're not 33x10.50's.. They are 33x12.50's! I got what I paid for but not what I asked for.
Not sure what I'm doing yet... But at least I'm making progress.
And thanks, John... I might end up with something just that size

[QUOTE=john smack;1022341]yeah they are 12.5 wide, looks real stout also with 4" BS and a 35 it will fit right onto the tire holder without issues or spacers
It looks like it is hittin the bumper, I used a 5/16 wheel spacer to correct this problem, works great, cost 2 bucks @ napa

Well, I'd like to thank everyone for the responses.
It seems the common thread is the 15x8 Cragar/Unique/Etc wheels which have 4" backspacing. Not the ProComp version that has 3.75" backspacing. I guess the design of the wheel is just different enough to cause the problems with the weights on the ProComp.
I've had Discount Tire order me one and we'll see what happens.
And l3itch, I'm going for that same lift, same wheel, and same size tires. I really like the way yours looks - it's the same look I'm going for with mine.
Thanks again.
