I had to get new tires and wasn't ready to do any lifting yet so that's why I went with the 30x9.5's instead of the 31x10.5's. I figured they were the best choice since they fit stock without rubbing but still would be big enough to work with a minor lift.

yea there is a metal sleeve on the outside and the measurements for mine are about 34" inches from the ground to the fender in the front and about 35" in the back. I'm going to put 31's on mine not I removed the plastic part of my bumper off so I shouldn't have to much of a problem with rubbing

by fender, do you mean the middle of the metal part, or to the bottom of the plastic?

would wheel spacer solve the rub problem and are you guys running stock rims or the zr2 rims. cause i want to the shackle lift and the torsion crank. i also have air ride in the back so i can crank those up a little if i need to. and is everyday driving alright or are you guys rubbing alot. also what about off road?

I only rub when I'm turning and going over a bump. wheel spacers will make ur tires rub more. If you have stock rims and do what I did 31's shouldn't rub at all. I have aftermarket rims and they stick out further than stock this is why I am faced with some rubbing
