If you are at factory height, plan for it to rub a bit. If you are on mid perch, it still might rub while off-roading. I would recommend 8.5" with 6 offset or 9" with 12 offset for a more flush look without rubbing.
I am running methods with factory size mickey Thompson’s and I rub, both at full compression and while turning and articulating.
There are a few things to consider when considering how bad you will rub. I am running about 5 degrees of positive caster, if I recall correctly, and that pushes the top of the knuckle back which results in more rubbing. Another thing to consider is that how much of your travel are you using. Mid perch might be enough if you aren’t using much of you travel, but if you go full compression it doesn’t matter what perch/coil adjustment you are on. I have a few light cracks in my fenders up by the A pillars and am missing most of my push pins that hold the fender flare on.
Note that I have been for compression more than once......
I’m riding out 35’s and stock fenders until I decide what front end setup/track width I want to go with so I am not buying fenders more than once.
I see, thanks for sharing
I am running upper control arms from BajaKits and Eibach spring on stock shock (give mid perch height) with stock fenders
TBH, loads of people have the methods, and I don't like methods because everyone has them, nothing unique about my ride if I go with too .. that is why I am considering different designs/looks from other manufacturers .. 2 of the wheel I am considering, are from Black Rhino.
1st is 17x9 0-offset
2nd 17x9.5 6-offset
which I think will give approximately 40mm of tires outward peaking
thanks for sharing will look into them, might change my view
