I'm lifting my truck next month and I know my current tires are going to look real silly on it. My wheel size now is 22x9.5 offset 18, back space 5.96. Can I use these wheels with the Fabtech 7.5 lift and 35s without problems?

 

Not without spacers.

Edit: Just saw your wheel specs. I was running 16x8 with 4" of BS. 6" of BS probably isn't going to be enough even with 22" wheels. Your 35s will most definitely rub your spindle or with 22" wheels even your upper A arm.

 

They rub now so I have to take a little extra care when turning into a tight parking space or U-turn. I can deal with that. Will larger tires and lift make it worse than it is now? Do you have any suggestions for larger tire and lift set up that will look good or am I limited with these wheel specs? Thanks for replying.

 

you need less BS cuz as i read it the wheels are pretty deep on the back side right?

 

Yes they are. As it sits now I have wear marks about an inch wide on both sides of a bar under my truck. I don't know what it's called :o I went from lowered Honda/Acuras to an F150 and clueless about truck suspension. When I bought these wheels I had no intention of modding my truck any further but now that I've sold my little tuners I want to work on my truck.
Whats the biggest size tire and requiered lift or mods that I could use with my current wheels? I definately want to go higher with the Fabtech lift and I have a 3" body lift waiting to be installed but I really dont know where to start or finish. I'm open to any suggestions. I also wouldn't mind getting a new set of 16's or 17's that fit properly with a larger tire instead of bigger 22" tires for what they cost.

 

problem is your wheels you need less backspace so you might have to switch them up unfortunately. but your right about tire costs. they look great though

 

No man.. keep those wheels because they look sexy. Run a spindle lift instead and a body lift or something. that would also be way cheaper. Only other way I could think of would be running some wheel spacers up front. I wish I could run 22's, but the price for 37s would be rediculous.
