    Default tire and wheel question

    I have a '91 cherokee with a 3.5" lift.
    And I have a set of bfg tires 285/75/16 a/t in great shape.
    The wheels i found are 16x7 with 4" backspace on them will they rub or
    not?
    I would love your help.I live in Ohio and love to trail ride when I can find the trails so mud riding is not my thing.
    the man at Quadratec said the wheel isn't wide enough! I don't dout his word or is he looking at a catalog?

    I called my friend who works for a tire store. He said its too wide. You would need a 16x8 at least.

    I did a quick calculation. That is an 11" wide tire. It will perform much better on the highway with an 8" rim.
    230 hp 4.3L Chevy
    Built 4L60E with manual lockout
    Atlas 4 speed
    Griffin radiator
    On board air
    Warn 9.5ti on custom bumper
    7.5" RE front and bastard pack rear on custom long arms
    30 gal gas tank
    lockers
    And a bunch of other stuff
