fatter tires on rear than on front? ive been googling for way too long and cant find a solid answer. what kind of problems are involved with running 33x13.5r15 in the rear and 33x12.5r15 in the front?

without proper backspacing you could end up rubbing the inside of your tires on your leafs or fender well, are you running stock rims aftermarket?

im running aftermarket wheels im not worried about rubbing just concerned if the difference in width (running 33x13.5 in the rear and 33x12.5 in the front) would cause any drive train damage

you should be ok, what you don't want to do is run different height tires and engage 4wd, talked with a guy who did it once said he didn't even get a mile before things fell apart.

(note: he was running a highly modified toyota, which doesnt change handling so much, but he has a lot more clearance for wide wheels. Didnt want someone thinking that superwide tires will fit in the rear wheelwells of a cherokee without a LOT of work.)

I installed an RE 1600 adjustable track bar now so everything is in line. Great investment I think.
