M/T Classic II Wheels, Will They rub?
I just bought a set of Mickey Thompson Classic II Wheels 17x9 and 35x12.50-17 Cooper Discoverer STT Tires. I am wondering if these will rub on my leaf pack? Should I just get wheel spacers up front? My tire guy told me that everything rubs without spacers. True? Here are the specs, thx

Everything does not rub on the leaf pack.
A 35/12.50 on a 10" wide wheel with 4.5" Back Space doesn't touch the leaf pack.
I know a 37/13.50 on a 9" wide with 5" of Back Space does rub on the leaf springs.....can't remember if a 35/12.50 will or not. If it does, it won't be by much.

Anything that moves the WMS surface outward increases the strain and wear on front end parts.
Not a huge amount, but some.
Not sure about something as small as 1/4", since it's not acutally bolted to the hub with it's own set of lug nuts.
Personally, I'd mount the tires and wheels and see if they rub before you buy anything.
