my tires also run a little bit, but thats a 3 inch lift on a sfa, and it only rubs when i turn full lock and flex. doesnt rub on anything major just the stupid mud flaps and plastic wheel well liner. Also idk how much of a hit i took on milage since i never really checked it before i put the tires on but i got about 17-20 with 4.10 gears. It was a dog though. thats why i just got done putting 4.88s in. im lookin forward to seeing what i get for milage now.

Your gonna notice an improvement in the snow with the extra width. Deep mud or sand too. We'll call it mpm(miles per miles), for instance I've gone 20 miles(speedo)in the snow and only covered 10 miles of road. Whatever the hell that is metric, sorry.

This is the way I measured it. I'll go double check it, I pretty sure it was a little better than 6". Deep dish SOBs I tell ya.

Here's another couple pics



That's not backspacing that you're measuring.
Backspacing is the INSIDE of the wheel.
The more backspacing, that is the bigger the number, the more the wheel/tire moves towards the INSIDE of the vehicle, thus making the stance narrower, not wider.
The LESS the backspacing, that is the SMALLER the number, the more the tire/wheel moves outward, thus widening the stance.

My truck with 15 x 8 wheels and 1.5'' wheel spacers. They are 33 x 1250 x 15. It's wide but it handles well on road.

I run 35 x 12.5 x 15 with 3.62 backspacing mt classic II and they look a ride great. I did have to do a bit of fender trimming but with my whiz wheel it only took 1/2 for both sizes and now have no issues with rubbing also a 4" suspention lift.

i have a set of 33x12.50 bfg all terrains on 15x10 and they look good. But with six inches of lift, they still rub the bumper a little when wheeling or turning sharp
