    I have a set of 15x8 Eaton rims on my A1 right now, running a 33 10.5 and used the off the shelf spacing which I believe is 3 3/4. What rim width are you planning?

    Probably 7" rims. Does you 3.75" back spacing keep the tires off of the frame/springs?

    I've got 31x9.50x15 Swampers on 15x6 rims and they clear OK. I do get some rubbing on the front springs at full lock, but it's not a big deal.

    On the back, pretty much any tire is going to rub the inner wheelhouse on full flex, unless you run a lot of offset and then you'll have outer fender interference.

    I'm running a 265/70R16 on a Dodge Dakota Sport rim on my bog stock '70 CJ5, they're appx 8" wide, with about 6" of positive offset, with a 2" spacer, they fit my wheelwells just about perfect. 10.4"W X 30.6"T (basically 31X10.50X16). I wish I didnt need to run the spacers, but the deal on the rims and practically new tires was worth it....
