I'm planning on pulling the trigger on buying some winter tires & rims in the next couple days. I'm planning on running 245/75 R16 tires with the Cragar Soft 8 wheels, which are 16" x 7 wide. Since they only have 4" of backspacing, what kind of issues should I expect to have with rubbing after I install my OME/Rancho lift?

Am I mainly looking at pinch weld pounding? I don't want to have to do anything drastic, but pinch welds wouldn't be out of the question.

Pound the pinch welds down just in case,better anyways.You'll have no other issues with that size tire/rim with the OME coils if you remember to add some bumbstops.
