Ok here it is. I got 4 AR767 for Xmas. I have been running jeep rims with BF TK ATO 31" with just a little rub on the lower controle arms. Now after the new rims are on the right side rubs the bottom finder :confused: The left side doesn't. Also if I ajust my track bar do I need to get it realignment.

Thats weird... just trim your fender man. Who needs them anyway. They just get in the way of things. Oh ya, whats your backspacing on the ARs? Cuz it is for sure different than the stock. I think stock jeep rims are 4.75 backspacing.

Nate not to shure on the back space was in a rush this morning. just checking. Hey how did your engin problem go?

[Nate Spear]

I actully gave in and took it to the shop. But they are going to check it out and tell me what is wrong before they fix anything. I figure they might know more than me. And I might get lucky and be able to do the work myself after they tell me what is wrong. I just hope it is running by sometime next week.

BTW, My 33x12.50's rubbed like hell on my XJ. I just hacked off the fenders and now they are perfect. Don't rub on anything. I can fully crank the wheel and they are good.

EDIT: I have 3.75 backspacking. My tires stick out about 3 inchs past my sheet metal. I can't remember how far they stuck out past the regular flares.

no stock wheels def are not 4.25... most people run 4.5 or 4.25 backspacing to get further out. its a good distance but not too far as to put extra stress on bearings and such i am pretty sure stock is in the 5 in range. i would never go past 4 unless you want alot of bearing changes... ANYONE KNOW stock backspacing?

[Krazyxjkid]

It is on black rockcrawlers and i dont know the backspacing but the wheels came off a wrangler and its does flex alright and it is Rustys with the add-a-leaf and no transfer case drop graemlins/werdsign.gif
