It will also require wheels with lots of backspace because of that wide axle, but since I'll be ordering new wheels anyway I'm not too concerned about it.
If you run a deep BS the tire will cover it. But most here run 5.5 to 6"
Depending on your brake choice you can use weld on brackets the locate the caliper @ 7~o-clock on the passenger side and @~4 o-clock on the driver side for better clearance.
