The rims have more than enough clearance from the springs, the tyres are where you will have the poblems,
My mate is running those tyres on a samurai, had to trim the wheel arches and the firewall.
If it's worth doing, Do it right the first time!!

I have these rims running 32x10.5" Mongrels which actually measure 11" from sidewall to sidewall (possibly due to the little sidebiter lugs). They rub minimally on the springs at full lock but its nothing too bad. However mines a WT so im not sure how the clearance would be with a NT, i would think the springs would be closer to the tyres and so rubbing may be worse. Another thing is because of the greater offset they rub on the firewall when the wheels turned and stuffed into the guard, i am about to move the axle forward 20-25mm to help combat this.
I have heard people say that the mudzillas are actually a fair bit smaller than their supposed size, so your " 11.5 wide" tyre might only measure 10.5" wide.

And for comparison picked the rims up for $65 each, sanded em back and sprayed them black with $20 worth of spraycans for all 4. Turned out lookin pretty sweet :)

you didn't say you had a lift, how we supposed to know if it will clear if you don't give the full picture.

How much lift you got?[/quote]

www.dynamic4x4.com F100 rims on the shelf in black, silver or white. They don't deal direct but do have a list of retailers on their site.
