Default For you guys with 13.5" wide tires...

What is your wheel BS and/or are you running any wheel spacers? I am looking into getting 37x13.5-17 mud grapplers and was wondering if rubbing would occour. My wheels have 4.5" BS. Would it be a good idea to adjust the steer stops or just run it?

Thanks.

I'm running 37x13.5r18. I haves 4 inch teraflex lift. My tires rub only when I turn all the way, other than a little paint missing.... They do just fine. Im getting 1.5 wheel spacers soon, BUT if you disconnect sways and go flexin with big spacers I'm afraid I'll bust off my stock fenders. So do a fender chop or get flat fenders if you plan on doing spacers and going flexin alot.

Seems like a win win situation.

Chopped fenders, no rubbing and being able to flex.

Get the spacers, don't look back.
