10" rims, cause I run the H2 wheels with 2" leveling and 35x12.5's and have never seen any rub! Ditch the rims dog! and make sure you have the proper backspacing!

Sorry to jump in late, but you added a leveling kit and got steering bind and other problems. What brand, I just got a set of H2 wheels and was going to add a leveling kit, then tires on the rims. You have me scared. Is this normal from a leveling kit?

With the 33's it should completely get rid of the rubbing, but it probably won't be enough with the 35's. I moved my fender back roughly 1/4" and have no rubbing at all. So, the 1/2" longer arms should do it.

I believe so, but your best bet is to call one of the suspension guys: Carli, Thuren or DTfab (don't know the name) and let them tell you exactly how long you need to recenter the axle. Like someone else said above, moving the caster bolts in the lower arms can give you a little movement forward, but not 1/4".

Can you take the wheels back? Eagle makes that wheel in a 20x8.5 with 5.475" of backspacing. That should cure all your problems.

This wheel will be perfect. Have your shop swap them out for you. It's their bad for giving you the wrong wheel in the first place. They should know what fits or not, that's what they do.

Exactly. They make your wheel in a 20x8.5 with 5.xx" of backspacing. That's exactly what you need man. Here's the info from Eagle's site, 1144-2898 (part number) 20x8.5 Super Finish 8 on 6.5 Acorn +20 mm 5.475 3175-06 3420 lbs. 39 lbs.

It will. I ran 325/70-17s (35s) on 17x8.5 rims with 5.5" backspacing on the stock suspension. With a level kit there's no preoblem at all.

the only thing is those nitto mud grapplers are really more like 13 in wide...and i test fitted them on a wheel they had there...it was a 20x8.5 (not sure of the back spacing) and it still rubbed...ill have them double check the backspacing of that rim we test fitted and see what it was..if it was off then ill order them...this has been a nightmare..lol
