Depends on the backspacing and offset of the wheel. Try to get close to 6" of BS and have a positive offset value.

your gonna rub on hard turns. I just did some 35 12.5 tires with a leveling kit and they rub on the hard inside turns. I got an aggressive mud terrain tire and it definetly will rub even with a positive offset. I tried the following offsets and had rubbing 10, 6 -6, -12, no luck on any of them.

If you get aftermarket control arms i think most of your rubbin issues will be resolved...

That's what most have been saying, get new control arms and then you will be set.

Aftermarket ones are round and smaller in diameter than the factory "U" shaped bulky ones

What kinda wheels do you have, where do the tires rub?
I just put 35's on my H2's, they clear the fender by about 1/4" and only rub the inner fender, don't rub the control arms.

I'm going to take it for an alignment and ask them to crank the offset bushing of the lower control arm, hopefully that gives me enough clearance at the fender to put my mudflaps back on.

They hit the actual fender and of course the offset of -12 didn't help. I need to look at a 10 to 15 offset.
