40" tire clearance question

[TJEli]

Hey Guys,

Has anyone seen (or have pictures) of a 40" stuffed at steering lock? I am wondering if a 40x13.50 will hit the stock steel bumper (with the ends removed) mounted on a 4.75 BS wheel.

Seen pictures of them on monster trucks or John Deere tractors but can't come up with a legitimate reason to put them on a regular vehicle so nope, no pictures.

Helpful. Thanks.

You won't even be able to turn full lock on flat ground with 4.75 back spacing.

I have 5 inches of lift upfront and 2.75 back spacing. I still rub fairly easily when off camber.

2.75 back spacing
5 inches lift front
4.5 inches lift rear

So there isn't room for the tire to "tuck" into the corner with less backspacing. That's the information I am looking for.

Thanks,

What is the height of your Jeep at its highest point?

What is the height of your Jeep at its highest point?

6'11 possibly a little taller. It snowed a lot so it is hard to get a solid measurement plus it looks taller in the middle of the top.
