Stock Wheels on 4" Lift

Just curious if anyone is running stock wheels on a 4 - 6 inch lift. I am looking at getting the Rancho 4 inch lift and looking to see what it looks like@

Thanks!

There are a few guys running stock wheels and 35's with their Rancho lift. Search "Rancho" and read though some threads and I'm sure you'll find some pics.

I run my stock wheels/tires in the winter but don't have any pics, sorry :o

Your 305's on the stockers will look good with the Rancho though.

Hi, I'm running the 4" Rancho with the stock 20's... looks like you have the 18's in your signature. If you decide to stick with your stock wheels, then Rancho is a good pick.... well, I think its a good pick if you want to go aftermarket too. I checked my clearance with the stock 20's (6" backspacing, the max recommended by Rancho) and didn't think I rubbed at all for a while after installing the kit, but then I felt it a little bit when I was trying to back into my garage one day and had the wheel turned at 100% full lock. I checked underneath and when it is held at full lock, the sidebiters on my ATZ's barely touch. I had to have someone hold the wheel, because when I had it at full lock and got out to check, the little bit it would move allowed them to clear. It doesn't cause me any problems in my day to day driving!

VT,
Nice setup! I'm seriously looking at the exact same lift (very soon) and keeping the stock 18 inch rims with 35 at's. Are you running a leveling kit with the Rancho?

Thanks! I'm not running a leveling kit. I did have a 2.5" on for about a year and a half but removed it when I installed the Rancho.

Very good! I'm now looking for the best price on the Rancho lift so I can get it installed before winter hits here in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing pictures and info...helped me finalize my lift choice, Keeks.
