chappy88 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Has anyone installed a rough country 4.5 lift and used the factory rims? Rough country says you have to purchase the wheel spacers. Is that true or are they only for installing 30"+ oversized tires? Any suggestion would be helpful, I have factory steels and aluminums so don't really want to spend the extra $ on shallow rims.

Eagle Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 My '88 MJ came to me with a 4" lift installed (since removed). Running 30x9.50R15s on factory Jeep rims (15x7) is no problem at all. I ran it with 31x10.50-15s on factory rims. The inside of the tires is close to the rear springs and inner fenders, but not unworkable. A day of hard wheeling would result in the upper-inner shoulders of the tires polishing the metal on the inner wheelwell liners in the rear. An inch or so more clearance would have been nice, but not absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
