Rims that work with the Teraflex S/T Swaybar and wide 37's
OK so I have had a S/T swaybar setup installed in my jeep for awhile now. I never had any problems with 35" tires.. But when I switched up to 37" Pitbulls it was obvious that the tire was going to contact the knob when turning. It forced me to sell my rims and tires and look into a new rim and tire setup.
My old rims were 8" with a 4"back space. I will admit that the pitbuls are definatly alot wider than other 12.5 wide tires in fact they were bigger than my buddies 13.50 Iroks.
What backspacing should I get on my next set of rims? What are you other S/T swaybar users running with 37" tires?
I am looking at getting another 8" rim and running the exact same tires in 37x12.50x15 but I am very unsure of what back spacing I should be looking at.

well, if you're hitting it now with 4" of back spacing, you might just try running a set of 1.5" wheel spacers as there aren't too many nice wheels that come less than 3.5" and, looking at your pics, you would need at least that little if not less.
