I posted a pic earlier in the Lift Pics section, but thought I would share some comments. I really like the wheels I got because of the plain "steel wheel" look. The only BS available for the wheel was 4", which I didn't think was a big deal. It works for me since adding the Body Lift gave some clearance. But before the BL, man there was some rubbing. I pinned the inner liners back first, but still rubbed on it and the fenders. Hacked about half of the inner liner away, and just rounded the fenders at the bottom. That fixed the rub there. Before the BL, I was rubbing on the body mount on full lock... Now I clear it without a Body Mount chop.

Currently there is no rubbing except on the rear on the front wheel well when reversing at full lock. Not a big deal.... I haven't bothered trimming it yet, but it shouldn't take much now to be completely rub-free. So this explains why the 4.5" BS is considered optimal when choosing aftermarket wheels, although it didn't take that much work for me. Plus, I was able to use the wheels that I wanted!!!
