They will work,if you are wheelin there will be rubbing.A driver with 35s and a 4" lift will have no problems

I've got that combo, as stated they'll rub if you off road but I added the zero rate kit and moved my axle 1" back and I don't rub anymore.

8" rims instead of 10" helps,too.

I have a staggered lift, 4" front and 6" rear, 8" rally's, no issues, but I don't wheel it ;)

I have 35" BFG MT's on 15x10 Centerlines with 3.5" BS. The passengers fender rubs in the front where it was smacked 20 years ago. I cut the front of the rears. A pie piece about 1" at the bottom tapering up 6" or so. Makes the fenderwell a much better shape IMO. But I can stuff the fronts into the back of the fender when going through ditches at any angle. But on the street, it's no problem at all. I'm getting ready to put 36 inchers on it with an 8 lug swap and we'll see what happens...

No ****,,,,, it does not rub, its realy close, but doesn't even polish the paint on the inner fender.It use to rub on the rear when I had lift blocks, but when I did the shackle reversal it looked after that.

Must be the pic then.
From the angle it looks like if you were to straighten your wheels it'd push the fender out, it must have better than half the tire hiding behind the wheel opening...oh wait, you gotta still be playin' with us on this one. :lol:

Photo angles can't distort thing's that much.

To be fair,it looks as the fender cup was cut on the front.I personally dont see how that tire didnt cause body damage when it was turned on the rear of the front fender

Pumpkin,there`s no way that tire in that position could be straightened out and not "rub" the fender.I can hear the p/s pump chirpin`now.You drove up that thing with the wheel cut hard in the position it`s in.Sorry,I know these things too well.
My truck with 6" lift,35" Xterrains,and 10" wheels gets some rubbing.I ran 7" lift,13x37" Swampers,and 8" wheels with no rubbing on a Blazer.

Heck,I ran 14.50/37s with a 4" lift and 10" wheels.....and cut fenders;)

Yup you caught me, they are stretched a tad bit. I didn't turn them on the stump, but Ive been in wheeling spots that outa shape and the only rubbing is on the left rear front. It polishes the paint and sounds like a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle.;)
