    Okay, so modified my original post. So I went ahead and pulled the trigger on "LT225/65R-17 BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2" and I'm just going to use the stock trail hawk rims, since they already look good.

    I also picked up "Rugged Ridge 15201.20 Wheel Spacer (Black, 1.25 inch; 15-16 Renegade)" to kick the wheels out a bit for the aggressive look. From what I think I read, it will rub a little bit on full turn. To combat this, I think i'll pick up the Daystar 1.5in lift.

    So my question(s) to all you out there:

    1. Any other issues with the 1.25in spacers you could see other than that slight rubbing?
    2. Will the Daystar 1.5in eliminate the rubbing or do I need something like the Teraflex 1.5-2.0 lift instead?

    As always, your time and help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    When you space it out you'll want to do the pinch seam mod. There's a good write up on it here, see the little bump behind the front tire in the fender well liner? That's the spot. Pick your lift, any 1.5 will do unless you just want 2" ... up to you. (I have the Avid 1.5 lift, love it and my rear differential is left up away from the rocks as Avid's 1.5 doesn't space the subframe and drive line back down) When you install the lift kit you have to pull the liners out anyway, do the trim then. I used hanger strap to lower my charcoal canister, watch all the different brands install videos they each bring up good points.

    Just got the LT225/65R-17 BFGOODRICH ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO2 installed, no spacers or lift and they look great and no rub full lock on the trailhawk. Super happy!
