If they are rubbing on the control arms, then less backspacing will cure that.

Too little backspacing, then they will rub on the inside rear of the fenders.

Stock wheels are around 6.5" backspacing, most aftermarket are 4.5".

8" wheel with 4.5" backspacing won't rub much.
10" wheel with 4.5" and a 35" tire rubs the inside fender.

i have a set of cragar 16x7's with 285/75R16's and a little more offset than stock...being a narrow rim it bulges the tire slightly, but not bad, and the offset puts it about an inch outside the fender...looks so awesome...ill put pics in my gallery in the next couple minutes

16 X 8 Mickey Thompson Challengers with 305/70-16 Goodyear Wranglers. Don't rub, I think they are 4.75" backspace. See my gallery.
