Im specifically wasnting to know if a set of omf 17x9 with 4.5 inch backspacing will clear a dana 44 aet up with high steer from parts mike without any grinding or would I need to look at the 18's instead. Helpfull info will help greatly as will any pick of how close the arms are to the wheels

Thanks Chris

what width tire are you going to be running? I have 12.5 on h2 rims and a barely clear my high steer arms..I can see light between the tire and the arm , but its way less than a 1/2 gap..So I think you'd be fine(even w/ a 13.5 tire), but if you were running 5.5 BS on a 8.5 rim and 13.5 wide tire you'd be rubbing the arm...This should be NON -hardcore too!
