You will probably rub on the front part (bottom) of the front fender and the pinch weld. Others will chime in with any other spots.

:? :? :? confused as to why you want to use Cragers and then also wheel spacers? Also stock you will have trouble with rubbing and wheel spacers even with the stock wheels. What are you trying to do ? Your tire size and stock wheels are fine , or get Cragers with about the same back spacing

the reason why tommud is confused is because with the cragar wheels your backspacing goes from 5.5"(stock) to 4"(cragar). this means that your wheel will stick out 1.5" more than the stock wheel did, assuming that your going to buy a 16x7 rather than a 16x8 which would cause u much more rubbing issues.

if ur not lifted and ur going with a 16x7 with 245/70/16, ur probably guna get some rubbing issues, ur guna have to pound down the pinch weld, mess with ur fog light door, trim ur fenders and so on.

basically, stick with stock if u dont want to rip off ur fender flares because of rubbing problems or wait until u get a lift and then put the cragars and tires on...no spacers though...unnecesary and it would cause major rubbing.
