[special-K]

I have run '72 K/20s with 35/12.50s on 10" rims with 6" lift and the tires could rub but rarely did. I figure with new body mounts and 8" rims there would be no rubbing. I had 37/12.50 SSRs on 8.25 rims to put on it that I figured I'd at least need to add zero-rates for.

I have run 35/12.50s on 9.75 rims with 4" lift and I had to trim the tip on one front fender cup on one side. 8" rims would work.

I had another that came with 35/12.50 BFG A/Ts on 8" rims and just add-a-leafs (it looked like) and I could drive it but could rub tires, on road.

I ran a '71 Blazer with 7" lift, 37/13 Swampers, on 8" rims. I wheeled the crap out of that thing and never once rubbed a tire

When you are on the boarder line for tire size fitting a lift, the tread design (mud lugs) and wheel width can be the deciding factor. This is info not given with lift vs tire size charts. We get guys asking if their tire size and lift will work and they almost never give the wheel width. That third bit of information can make all the difference and so can side lugs. Also, between one tire and another listed as the same size the dimensions can vary a bit.
