Just like the title says. Will 17x9 with 4.5 BS with 325/70/16 on them rub with a leveling kit. I'm thinking if they rub anywhere they'd rub on the back of the front fender. I dont want any rub. I had a little on my last pickup for about a week and it drove me nutz. Not a far drive by the way . I will not be doing any offroading with this pickup so I'm not worried about that.

These are the rims I'm looking at and all have 4.5 BS. It's hard finding a rim that is anything but 4.5 BS

dont kow if it will rub.......but yer guna have a heck of a time getting those tires on the rim!

 

Yes it will rub.. They will stick out almost 2" ...

Shane

 

I agree - 17" rim versus 16" tire ???????

 

Regardless of rim diameter, a 4.5" backspaced wheel with 35" tires will rub badly.

 

OOPS!!! You all know what I meant.

 

It was good for a laugh!!! But seriously it will rub like madd!!!


Shane

 

Yep they will rub, especially if you have mud flaps.

 

I dont get this. I had 315/75/16 on 16x8's with 4.5 BS on my 01 with a leveling kit and it didn't rub.

If those wont work does anyone know of a rim that looks similar to the ones posted above that will work. I've read that 5.5 BS is optimal.

 

I have 315/70/17's w/ 17"x9" and 4.5" of BS w/ a leveling kit and mine have never rubbed. They will stick out 1"-2"

 

4.5 yuck! Stick out bad...and will rub.

Shane...look at your PM's please.

 

I'm not worried about the sticking out part because I'll have flares.

 

Gotcha!!! Sent ya one back..

They'll rub badly. I have 17X9 with 295s and I have maybe 3/8" clearance. With your 325s there is NO way. The backspace is the killer. They look great (wider stance) but now I have to do the 2" levelers which I bought but I can't even put those on because my garage door is a bit tooooo low. Moving soon so that will be an issue in the new house for sure to make sure I have all the clearance I need.

 

I have 18 X 9 rims with 5" backspacing. 35 x 12.50 Pro Comp Xtreme ATs and Kore Recon leveling kit. The tires barely rub on the bottom of the rear fender when the tire is near a full turn, but it is chose I can fit my little finger between the tire and fender. No rubbing at a full turn on the control arms or plastic inner fender. Now it's time for longer control arms.
