Hello guys (and gals), I'm new to the site so bare with me. I have a 07 FX4 and I'm putting a Fabtech 6" lift with bilstein shocks. The rims that i want are MKW M19 series, 20x9 with 5.39" backspacing. I want to run a 35X13.5 cooper STT tire. Do you think I will have a problem with rubbing???


here is the wheel

 

You should be fine unless Fabtech has backspacing requirements that the wheel doesn' meet.

 

Fabtech recommends a 9" rim with 5" of BS. I'm kind of curious as well if a person can run a little more BS. 4x4LariatMan here on the site is running 9" rim with 5.5" of BS on his fabtech lift.

I just ordered some rims with 5.5" of BS, but they won't be going on till the middle of next month, hopefully they work.

 

I would contact Fabtech unless someone chimes in with the same combo you want to run. I have a set of STTs and the side-biters eat up a little clearance all by themselves. I think you might be pushing your luck.

 

Well I just got off the phone with the fabtech guy and he said the recommend 5" backspacing but he said no more than 5.25".....5.39 doesnt seem like that big of a difference, however it might make all the difference.

 

Did you tell him that you planned on running muds with big side-biters?

 

No i sure didn't hang on....i'll call back
