I have a 2014 North Edition 4x4, non lifted. I just ordered a set of Pro Comp 7089s 16x8 w/ 0 offset, 4.5" backspace. I'm looking at BFGoodrich T-A KO2 tires, size 225/70/16. That was my plan, but now im starting to wonder if the rims are too wide for those tires. I have no plans for a lift, but im not opposed to the pinch weld mod if I have to get 235's for the 8" rims. I'm really hoping I didnt screw myself by getting 8" rims. Can anybody chime in, tell me if 225s will be fine on those rims, or if 235s will rub? Please help! thank you

This is an old post, hope you got it sorted. I have 235s with the 16x8 rims 4.5" backspacing. I was gonna get the same wheels but with 225s, was told too much stretch on the side walls. I did the PWM for the 235s, some people don't do it, but it does come really close to touching. Even after I did the PWM I had some rubbing to the inner fenderwells.
