Default Ok, think I got it...PLEASE CONFIRM!! Thanks.

I am going with 37x13.5x16 tires on procomp 7089's 10 inch wide with 4.5 inch backspace.

Will this tire width and backspacing rub at full turn/flex?

Sorry to keep posting up questions....thanks for the support everyone!!!

I would say yes, you'll have some rubbing.

How much lift? turning i dont know; however, unless you are running tube fenders you may get flex rubbing w/ less than 4+" of lift.

thanks to all!!!

well, i am still sort of "on the fence" on this one....

17x9 with 4.75 inch bs and 1.5 inch spacers.

or....

16x10 with 4.5 inch bs and hope they dont rub.

i am not really conerned with the flex rub on the fenders bc i can always throw on a 1" body lift and/or flat fender if necessary. i am more concerned with the rub on the arms and such at full turn. this is stressful. ha.

thanks again everyone.
