With 35/14.5/15 tires will my 8 inch wheels work without rubbing my steering and suspension
 






If they'll even fit the 8 inch rims (rule of thumb is keep it 4 inchs apart), then yes. They'll rub like crazy. I'm assuming that the only mods you've done is that 5.5 Superlift, and that's not enough to fit those. You'd have to either lift it some more or cut away fenders like a mad man (I'm not sure if that would even work). I have 33x12.50's on mine with just a 5.5" lift and it rubs the swaybar at full lock, I can't imagine what 35x14.50's would do. Perry has 35's (I think 12.50's) on his rig with just the 5.5" lift and he was saying there's no room.
 






thanks for the info
