try 4wheelonline.com

Fabtech says you cannot run stock wheels due to backspacing issues. When you pick a new wheel make sure it is less than 5in of backspacing...

So a wheel with 5 inch backspacing wont fit?

You can run stock wheels and bigger tires with the fabtech, just make sure your tires dont have a really aggressive sidewall.

hey ranorris2 your truck is what i want to achieve. does your setup rub or prevent you from turning any sharper than you could originally? that is what im trying to figure out so i know what to get, cause im leaning to a rancho ift right now but if what you say is true i might chang my mind. thanks

My tires do not rub at all, my turning radius is a little worse than stock was but nothing to complain about. Good luck with your choice.

I think a six inch lifted truck running bigger tires on the stock wheels looks awesome...its a great look, sort of a more grown-up truck look with all the fun and abilities of a lifted 4x4
