Will they work?
Ok, now that i have all my spindle lift parts situated, thanks to everybodys help and suggestions, another problem occured to me. Now im going to be doin the complete spindle lift and shock replacement, spirngs, etc. But after all the parts are bought for the lift, i will have to then save up for the rims and tires. so my question is this. Rite now i have 22" rims. i dnt kno the backspacing or anything about the rim other than it 22". Will the spindles and the other modifications work on the rims i have now until i have the money to buy my other ones? or will i have to wait to put rims, tires, spindle lift on all at the same time?
I kno i havnt given much info about the rim, but i jus need a yes, no, or maybe.
Something tells me this was a stupid question. lol.
Here are some pics to give ya'll an idea.....

Nope, i didnt see any markings, but ill check again. These rims and tires came with the truck when i bought it and i hate them!!! All it has has is a "V" in the center cap and displays no brand name or markings. Cheap rim. I found the brand online which is "Velocity" but no sites seem to have full specs of the rim, so i cant find backspacing. only rim size and offset.The rim is pretty deep, so im hoping they will fit and not hit any suspension parts when turning while i have the spindle lift on. This is only temporary until i get my much needed offroad Wheels/tires.
i guess i gotta whip out my measuring tape. But if it is within the recommended backspace, the height of the rim shouldnt matter rite?
and what would happen if there wasnt enough backspace or too much backspace?

You will be fine. I run a fabtech lift that requires 4.5" of backspacing and my rockstars have 5". Not to mention that those wheels are so big that it wouldnt matter anyways. All you are worried about is the wheel/tire hitting the spindle and the spindle wont even touch the bottom of the wheel.
