I run a 38x15.50x18 (18x10x4.5 rim) and it's ripped my wheel well up and rubs heavily. Anything much taller will get stuffed into the wheel wells pretty hard, but a narrower tire will reduce the rubbing from full lock.

On the street rubbing will be minimal. For offroad use something narrower than 15.5 would be better anyway.

I agree with philD, something in less width than 15.5 would be better, probably wouldn't rub at all in full turn, and wouldn't come close to rubbing in the rear, unless you do rock crawling, then your wheels will get fuked up

With the 6" and 40's you're going to mangle your wheel wells. Period. Those of us with 38's already do it. Unless you're not going to wheel the truck....

Ken,

I can't speak for yours but I've had my lift on for a year and nothing rubs. Obviously I've got your setup but when I installed my lift, I did crank the torsion bars up about an inch and a half to level the truck out.

The suspension has been in some wierd predicaments and has yet to rub... at least on mine.

Whatever, I have a feeling that it's the wheel wells that stink really bad in your truck. They're being torn to sh1t.

I have the same setup as PhilD, 6" lift with 38x15.50x18's. They rub depending on how hard core you get. But as you can see everyone has there own opinion.

As I was scrolling through all these posts, I was seeing who the true hard core drivers were!

No-one mentions anything about the backspacing of the wheels. Doesn't a smaller backspacing push the tires further out, and therefore helps to avoid rubbing? If I were to get the FabTech lift, what backspacing would I need in order to avoid rubbing with 37 x 13.5 and with 38 x 15.5 tires?

[Michael Baker]

Thanks for your quick reply. What size tires do you think look ok with a 6"lift? Has anyone used 1 1/2 inch spacers like these to push the tires out further?

I would go with this set up for rock crawling.

No more 15.5" recommendations Phil?

[tomp]

I am with Phil on the tire width. I won't go over 13.5" on tire width as it is havok on the Ol' steering components - even on pavement...

[datapimp69]

what do you guys think about these tires?
