8 inches on 35's?

hey guys just wondering anyone has pics of an 04-08 running 8 inches of lift on 35's, preferablly on 20 inch rims. I am just curious to see how it will look. My problem is I have a Screw with a 6.5' box so it doesn't seem as high as lets say a regular cab w/ small box, thanks in advance!

I'd go with at least 37's if you have 8+ inches of lift, it'll look goofy with 35's.

I agree. Also, this is just a personal opinion. I think that the larger the wheel you use, the less wheelwell gap the better. I don't know why, but for instance, I think that with 8 inches of lift and 35's, a 17 or 18 inch wheel would look better than a 20.

yeah i understand what you mean. i think that it looks better because the tire appears to be bigger with a smaller wheel.

If thats the case then dont crank the new coils up to 8" until you get 37's

See what I mean? Those 35's on 17 inch wheels don't look bad on that truck. Now if they were on 20's........

well i plan to run 37s in the future but i only have 400 kms on my 35 toyo's so its going to have to wait a bit. I used 20's as I feel that a 17 or even 18 for that matter on a 37 isn't my personal taste. I was thinking even going 22's. I have seen 24's on 37's but then it looks like a donk. So does anyone have actual pics of an 8 inch lift with 20's on 35's so I can actually see for myself how much of a "FAIL" it is?
