315s and rubbing with a 2" leveling kit?

Just wondering how much, if any rubbing there would be using 315/75R16 BFG MTs on 16x8 American Racing Baja or Ventura wheels. I believe they have 4" of backspacing. With a 2" leveling kit.

Lots of rubbing? Can it be trimmed to stop it?

Anything else I should know?

There shouldn't be any rub with that setup. But who knows. If anything, you'll need an adjustable track bar (I think that's the right one) in order to keep the wheel and tire from hitting the back of the fender.

Depends on the offset of your rims.

On my old 98 12v'er, I had the same set up as you and no rubbing at all, unless I hit a pothole over 12" deep on a hard right turn going over 15 mph. But how many times does that happen (except in TX!!)

Shouldn't be any rubbing at all.

Thanks for the info

The wheels have 0 offset and 4.5" backspacing.
