Good point. My inspiration has been this Jeep. I know not everyone will be a fan, but I think it looks neat. If only I could track down those wheels...So I'm running an OME lift, 15x7 wheels with 5.5" backspacing (stock steel wheels), and 31x10.50 tires. I love the aesthetic of an old FJ40 as much as anyone (or perhaps even more so), but I'm also a fan of letting the TJ be what it is, a Jeep.
With 5.5" BS, my 10.5" wide tires would rub on the control arms at full lock when I first installed them. To remedy the situation, I simply installed a washer behind the steering stop. Here's a good thread that explains how to do this.
Oh, wow. That washer trick seems way too easy—I'm going to try that tomorrow. I'm sick of hearing that nasty grinding noise when I turn sharp. Thanks!
