you need to have at least 5.5 inches, 6 is better.

I'm running 35-12.50's with 3" of lift, and my wheels have 4.75" BS. I did have to trim the fenders though, on the rear of the front fenders, and the corners of the plastic airdam. For the plastic airdam I used a propane torch to heat the plastic and just folded the corner up and inside, it looks real clean. And a good 'ol fashion sawzall for the metal part of the fenders. Took my time, used the right blade and it came out looking good too, you can't even tell unless you're looking for it.

The stock 17x8 wheels are around 6.1" backspacing with +42mm offset.
