Hi. I want to eventually run a 37x12.5 BFG K02 tire on the Mopar Performance Slotted wheels which are 8.5” wide with 5.2” backspacing. Will I rub the lower control arms on a 2021 Willys with the narrower axles? I just don’t want to invest that much money to find out they will rub. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I believe you should be good. But if it does rub you could always adjust the steer stop on your knuckle maybe or get wheel spacers?
