New to forum...lots of excellent information...need help!

I have a 93 4X4 extended cab pickup with a 2" body lift and stock suspension. I currently have 33x12.5 tires mounted to 15" stock rims (I'm finding out this is a bad setup). My tires rub the frame when I turn sharp, but don't contact the body or fenders anywhere. Is there a wheel width/offset/backspacing that will eliminate this frame rubbing and not require me to modify the height (body or suspension) of my truck? I am currently looking at a set of 15X10 steel wheels with a 4" backspacing, but I am afraid this setup will cause the tire to rub the front lower valence on my truck. My truck spends more time on the road then off the road (I am embarrassed about that too). No rock climbing here in Florida either. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Well if you are already having rubbing issues, you want a wheel with more backspacing like 5 or more i think.

 

You want more than that I would think. I'm running 3.75" right now and have no issues. Another thing you could do is get wheel spacers if you wanted to save some coin.

 

turboale: I researched wheel spacers and I would prefer to fix the problem with new wheels rather than spacers. You mentioned you're running 3.75" right now. Is that with a similar size tire (33x12.5) and lift (2" ish)?
