will these work -- RIMS

i got some Fx4 rims for free so i thought id ask.

i was wondering if i got the fabtech 6in lift if i could just use the stock rims or will they not work for some reason. i was gonna put some 35 or 37 on them and get the lift to save some cash right now then later on invest in some rims i like. if this will work let me know. thanks.

35's will fit for sure and maybe even the 37's. I can fit 35's with my stock wheels and a leveling kit.

The only limitation that you are going to run into is the width of the tire that you are trying to stuff onto the rim.

I'd say yes, go for it. I've been thinking about this as well. I mean people can run 35s with a leveling kit all day so with a 6" lift and stock rims, technically speaking 37s SHOULD work. Plus, most 37s come in 12.50s.

i was told that factory wheels would not work with the Fabtech lift...i think due to backspacing
