Hello,

I have searched the forums for any information, but can not find if tires will rub. The specs are; 3.5 inch cage lift, uncut fenders, 15x8 MT Classic Lock with 3 5/16 backspace and 31x10.50x15 BFG Mud KM2 tires. Will be using off-road, but nothing crazy and 80% on "good roads." Any advice will be greatly appreciated. :)

When I bought my Bronco my 31's would rub on my radius arms, but you can fix that by just adjusting the stops on the knuckles.

8" rims might rub the rear fenders under flex, maybe even a good speed bump. 7" rims will keep you under the fenders a lot better. here's 31's on 7's with a fresh 3.5" 11 pack;

same size rims, and I "fit" 32x11.5s with 2.5" of lift. they rub a teeny tiny bit with my "who gives a shit if they rub" driving style;D ...but with the 31x0.5s I used to have, they cleared just fine (even by normal person standards)
with my 32s, I rolled up the offending fender lip, and now the only contact is at the very front of the rear fender skirt (see my gallery, and you should see it)

oh yeah, and if I nail a good bump through a turn, the front tires will hit. but ya do it enough times and they clearance themselves
