Question Stock Wheels with Lift????

Hey guys...
I have an 04 with a leveling kit and 35" tires on stock wheels. With that being said, I am about to purchase a 6" fabtech lift and was wondering if I could keep the stock wheels with the lift or if I needed to get aftermarket wheels? Thanks....

I've yet to see a 6" Fabtech or ProComp with stock wheels and a 35x12.50 tires. All I've seen is stock rims/tires or a test fit of just the rim. The problem you have is the wider tires rubbing the new steering knuckle. ProComp and Fabtech say NO.

With that being said, It might work.

Well, it looks like the oem wheels will fit with oem tires. I guess the question is will oem wheels fit with larger tires.

get aftermarket rims with a 6" lift, it will look a ton better anyways. if you're really set on keeping stock rims, get the rancho 4" lift. a member here has the rancho with stock rims and 35" tires and it looks pretty good.
