Just bought 03 Sahara

Would like to put 32" x 11.5 x 15 tires on stock canyon rims. Looking at mtrs or BF mud terrains. Also planning on 2" spacer lift, 2-1/2 bds adj lift or 3" black diamond. Wondering if this tire size will fit without rubbing and will the min lift of 2" spacer be enough height. I just tried Dunlop mud rovers in 32" x 11.5 and they would just barely rub on the rear spring. Figured I would try the narrower tires that should give me almost a half an inch of clearance on the rear spring is that enough room. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you will be good with the 2" budget boost, but you still may have a little rubbing. If so, you can add a 1" body lift to get the little extra you need to clear well.

You could always find some rubicon springs and slap those on, I have 32X 11.5 BFG mt's but mine is a 98' sahara with 2004 Rubi Springs

Thanks.

Do you have any rubbing? What a bout the transfer case do you need to lower it??

I had 32mtrs, 1inch body, 2inbb, and no tcase drop. Flexed great, didnt rub, wish it was still like that.

Thnks

No problem, make sure u give us feedback on your decision.

If i go with rims whats the min backspacing needed. I just don't want the tires hanging way out.

With the canyon rims, my tires did not stick out.

I'm just worried about rubbing on the sway bar.

There is a slite rub, but it doesnt hurt anything. you may have to trim the rear drivers side spring perch, i had too.

But if i go with a new rim with a min. backspacing of ?? I should eleminate any rubbing shouldn't I.

You should eliminate rubbing on the control arms, sway bar, and spring perch. you still could have rubbing at flex on the fender flare though.

Fender flare is okay i'll just do the one inch body lift. its the inside that worries me. I just can't figure out if its 3-1/2", 3-3/4", 4", 4-1/4", 4-1/2" for the backspacing on the rims. Also is it the larger number or the smaller number that makes it stick out more?? It giving me a head ache.

if you can find something at 4.5 - 4.75 " backspacing it'll give you some extra clearance for the control arms (you can always adjust the steeringstops) and the rear spring perches (or you can grind them down).
The more backspacing (numerically higher) the less the wheels/tires will stick out

I made a decision i'm going with the Dunlop mud rovers 32"x 11.5" with the crager soft 8 rims with a 4" backspace hope it works. Putting a 2" spring lift in with a 1" body lift if needed hope this combo works.

Thanks everyone for the help. I will get pictures

I dont think you will have a problem with it hitting. Good luck.
