OK guy's I just bought these rims ( used ) 16 x 7 probably 4 inch BS http://www.4wheelcustoms.com/Products.asp?Cat=415

NOW I have rusty's 2.5 suspention lift ( no clevis as of yet but soon ) my question is I'll be using these rims for off road only & winter what kinda rubbing should I expect with a 245/75 BFG mud terrain or Goodyear MTR I know the pinch weld & for light door will need to be modified anything else is what I'm asking :?:

With the mentioned mods I say you would be pretty okay,just watch your rear flex(going to really contact that front rear fender flare).

how do I take care of that ? add an upper isolater & replace the stock bump stops with longer ones

i have the similar set up, but with the arb in front, 4 washers clevis lift, and 3 isolators per side on the rear.

i cut the front inner fenders from the noon position all the way forward.
pinch weld is still as it was. no rubbing in front or in the rear of either wheel well, have done nothing to the rear inner fenders. have never damaged fenders at all.

moabs are the rims on the kj, i think they're about the same backspacing as those you have.

the MOABS have 5 inch BS these have 4 inch BS, I sure I'll find out just hope it's not on a trail when the fender comes off :twisted:
