Im getting ready to order a set of 35 12.50 Nitto Trail Graps, just want to make sure they are going to fit with my Teraflex 2.5 BB. Im allready running 1.5" spidertrax spacers on my stock moabs and trimmed my pinch seam and rubi rails. My concern is the sway bar link and rear control arm. A rough measurement shows I have a little over two inches now from the stock tire to the sway bar link and control arm. The nittos are 3.1 inches wider then the stock BFG MTs. So when divided by 1/2 Im estimating the new tire would be an extra 1.5 inches wider on the inside. Since Ive got a little over 2" to play with Is 1/2" enough clearance for the new tire? Please correct me if im not thinking this out correctly. I probably wont ever run the tires aired down which is where I could see a potential problem. Im sure others are running this setup and can inform me. I know some will say buy different wheels for better backspacing but I had my moabs powdercoated and I like them so prefer not to go down that road. Thanks

They will fit fine as long as you use the 1.5 wheel spacers. You can't run sway bar disconnect with out rubbing on stock fenders at full flex but with cut fenders you would be fine.
