stock rims with lift

Hey , does anybody know if a stock 18" rim on an fx4 will fit with a 6" pro-comp lift?
even post pics, curious on the stance with 35's

Why wouldn't the stock 18" FX4 rim "fit", it works just fine on stock FX4s.

The real issue is actually the tire choices for the 18" stock rim (there are not many as it is a 7.5" width rim) and making it look good in the wheelwell, already an issue for me when seeing some people's lift in the front with just Daystar spacers...the stock rims/tires seem too small then.

If you are spending the money for a 6" pro-comp lift, I would think you would be wise to consider new rims so you have better tire choices to fill the space you will have with the look, and give it a more beefy look.

because of the backspacing on the front rims with the new knuckles.

I was planing to go with 35 X 12.50R18 toyo open country m/t's . I'm not to worried about the rim being 1/2" skinnier then recomended. I've seen that before. Then save up for eagle 178's for next summer.

That's a good question fx4renegade. Some lift kits do require aftermarket rims with less backspacing than stock. I'd suggest contacting Pro Comp directly.
