Get rid of the 7" or 8" wheels you have and get some 10's. Or if you have 8's with 4" or more backspacing, go to an 8" wheel with 3.5" bs. You can get away with 4" on the 10's. Wheel fitment is a science, or occasionally blind luck... My 33 14.5 rubbed on mine when I had 8" wheels with 3.5" bs, but the 35 14.5 did not with the 10" 3.5" bs wheels I have now. I got rid of the crappy bias tires and run 35 12.5 BFG MT's now. The drop arm will not solve your problem.

thats probably it. I have the stock rally style with 33/12.5 mud terrains. Are there any cheap stock style that would help.......backspacing wise?

Hey Tracy,
You say that you have the stock rims on still? What size are they? If they are 8's then the tire has to look pretty funny mounted to them. 12.5's are going to buldge out alot on those skinny rims. Sounds as though the rubbing may only be the smaller of the problem......
