Just wanted to see if anyone was running a 315/75/16 without wheel spacers? I'm thinking of getting new wheels but not sure if its possible without spacers.

Without spacers I hit the frame rail pretty bad at full wheel lock...

That was with aftermarket wheels close to factory backspacing, so I don't know if what I said help at all, sorry...
 
I don't think you can get away with that width without spacers and it be capable. Maybe if you get the UCA's shaved but that cost more than spacers. Although, I rather have that done than riding with spacers.

3.5-3.75" BS should clear your UCAs. You'll still probably rub the frame a little though, but there isn't much you can do about that.
 
Not quite exactly the same question (not trying to hijack), but close:

I have a Toytec Ultimate Lift with OME 890s in the rear.

Can I run a 305/70R16 on a 16x8.0 -25 (BS = 3.5)?
 
Anyone know a good place to search for wheels that lists the back spacing as well, not just the size and price?
 
I'm running 35x12.5R17 BFG MT KM2 tires on Walker Evan beadlock wheels. These wheels are 8.5" wide and I currently have 4" BS and I don't hit the frame at all through out the wheels full travel. With the suspension compressed at full lock I have 1/16" clearance between the tire and the frame. Walker Evan wheels can go down to 3.75" BS and at my next tire change I'm going to mill of 1/4" to 3.75" BS. I'll have minor frame rub at full lock with suspension compression. I've already cut my rear fenders but it's still hitting on the drivers side at full tuck and this should do the trick. I'd also like to tuck the tires in a bit, I have 2001 Sport flares and the flat tread portion of the tire that touches the pavement sticks out past the flares about 1/8". I have Total Chaos UCA's with plenty of room so I can't comment about stock UCA clearance.
