:rolleyes:
Any suggestions on how to prevent the tires from rubbing on the swaybar?
Would a smaller backspacing help? What is stock backspacing?

Yes less backspacing will help. Stock wheels backspacing is either 3.75 or 4.5, I think its 4.5
 












Thanks guys

NP thats what were her for.
 






Honestly you shouldnt run 11.5 inch wide tires on stock rims anyway. The stockers are only 7 inches wide. Get a set of 15x8's with 3.75 back space. This will definately help
 






Rookie-
Yeah, when I put my tires on, I didn't have the moey at the time to get some wheels. My stockers should be fine until I get new tires. Then I will get some 15x8 rockcrawlers to put on there. I will get the 3.75" bs too.
