I have these aluminum American racing rims on it now
this info copied off the rims and im dropping down to Stock Height and stock bumpstops , swaybar brackets
MT-058
15x8J
ET-28
the backspacing pushes them out past the metal rim on the fender

they would stick out past the original flairs by 1.5-2 inches? so would be leaving the wide flairs on it
im thinking they might slam up into the fenders going over rough roads/railroad tracks/potholes?
this is my DD and light offroad to go fishing, maine logging roads/powerline, nothing hardcore like out west

ive narrowed my tire choice to 30 or 31
General grabber A/Tx
or
Falkin wildpeak A/T4w

thanks




with 4inch lift on it now

Yes, they would stick out with stock flares. If your bump stops are set up correctly, they'll be fine.

i would be keeping the wider flairs

will the Stock bump stops work?

or will i have to buy different ones?
ive seen the ones you can cut to size but have no clue as to doing it right

You should be fine. Rubicons have slightly thicker lower bump stop pads on the front axle to accommodate the larger factory tire size.
