Default How wide of a tire can I fit?

I've got 3.5 inches of lift and really wanna slap some 33x14 boggers on 16x10 rims with 4" of bs. Will they rub? If so, where? Thanks.

I have 8 inches of lift with 35x 12.5 on 16x10 with 4" bs and I almost rub at full turn at the back of the outer front fenders. I have a ton of wheel clearance but too wide. If I could do it over again, I would have went a little less with back spacing. This would fix my near rubbing issue. I am 99% sure you will rub there with a 14" wide tire.

I have a 3" lift with 38.5x14.50x15 on 15x10 rims with 4" of backspacing and no rubbing (required a little body modification), but to answer your question yes they will rub the inner fender and bumper at full lock and a little compression of the spring.

Love them. Quiet on the highway and great off road. They love dirt, mud and rocks.

RDuck, Duratrac looks good but is it better than BF Goodrich KM mud terrain, this was referred by a friend mechanic here with his experience if BFG http://4wheelonline.com/BFGoodrichTires.1518 We would like to get our '00 Ram 2500 on mud and terrain and big highway.
