Default rear clearance on 37's

I recently upgraded from 35's to 37's and this weekend im heading out for the first time for a play.

I had trimmed the inner plastic guards, but still had some minor rubbing when I hit big pot holes (where I live are plenty of badly maintained dirt roads) so today I did some more trimming, and looking at the rear tyres, they look almost as wide as the clearance between the body. Im running a 4" lift and was wondering if I will get any rubbing on the metal or do they clear the bodywork on upward travel?

cheers

You haven't told us anything about your wheels or your tires so its an impossible question to answer....

c'mon MM, I thought you knew everything.

Ive still got the Mickey T sidebiter rims that you fitted 4 years ago, and have swapped out the 35" MTZ's for 37" MTZ's

Would you like to share the rim offset and width.

If all that has change is an increase in tyre diameter then add at least an inch more bump stop. May need to adjust your steering stops too.
