I've searched for a while and can't find an answer, even though I'm sure it's been answered before. I like the stock wheels (16") and went ahead and bought the pro comp MT's (33's). I haven't mounted anything yet. Will these fit? I don't have a lift yet, but will have the Black Diamond 3" soon. I'm planning on waiting to mount the tires when I get the lift installed. But just recently I've started wondering if the stock wheel has enough backspace for these tires. Anybody else out there still using their stock wheels? Or do I just need to break down and get new wheels? Thanks!

I ran the same tire on the stock 16's for about 1000 miles.....they will rub the front brake line at full lock but barely. The rears are fine. I would not reccomend wheeling with them unless you get spacers.

I ran 295/75R16's on stock wheels for a bit, but I had 1.5" spidertrax spacers... didn't rub hardly @ all, 'cept on the plastic air dam. 1.75" BB installed on the front with no issues, no lift @ all on the rear, and I use it for mild off road/heavier muddin'.
