IM WANTING TO PUT 5" LIFT AND 3' BODY LIFT ON MY 2001 DODGE 1/2 TON OFF ROAD 4X4 THEY TELL ME WITH THIS TIRE SET UP ON 16.5 X9.75 RIMS THE TIRE WILL RUB ANYONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?? ALSO ANY IDEAS ON RIMS WITH THIS BOLT PATTERN IN A 16.5 X 9.75 NOT MANY CHOICE WHO MAKES THEM TO FIT????

man that’s 8 inches of lift. with the proper back spacing, i sure don’t know what they would rub on. the tread width is only 11.5 inches and you are going to mount them on a 9.75 wheel. get additional advice from other folks – but i just don’t see these tires rubbing. the only thing that i have seen in a 16.5 x 9.75 is with weld racing. the backing spacing is 4 5/8 but with them being 9.75 in width, i would think that they would be ok. most other 36 x 14.5s have a tread width of 12 + inches. again, i think that you would be ok...

On another board I am on a guy is running 38" Ground Hawg 14.5 or 15.5 wide I think and he only gets rubbing at full lock!!!Lets see if this pic works!!! Rufus the Ram

i run that same lift setup (5"+3") with 36x14.5r15 swamper radial tsl's on 15x10 black steelies with 3.5" backspacing. mine is a '99 sport 1500, only time when it rubs is when the wheels are turned full lock to the right and backing up(like with the wheel turned backing out of the drive). i could fix this by adjusting the bumper out a 1/2" or so.

im sure that setup will not rub at all. I have a 2000 4x4 sport with those same exact tires that you want on 16.5x12 weld super single wheels with a 5 inch sus. and the 3 inch body and i have not had any rubbing.

yeah oi just have a 5 susp and read below for everything else and i just have rubbing with turning pretty damn far and then having the tires turned extensively during off roading..l.but nothing that bad that i need to complain about.here is my truck if u wanna see it
