What To do, which tire to pick with my lift

I have a problem that is slowing me down getting my lift. I'm putting a fabtech 6" lift on and im keeping my stock rims. Ranorris2 has already proven it with stock rims for all you none believers. Hes got pro comp extreme a/ts and there is 1/4 inch clearnance. I originally wanted the toyos but it has side tread that i was told is a good 1/2 and i was thinking of using spacers to make them work for a month till i get new rims. What do you guys think, i was also debating between extreme a/ts, bfg a/t or maybe km2 idk any ideas?

Any of those will work and look fine. Id suggest the KM2's for a MT and the BFG TA KO's for an AT.

You think the half spacer will work to keep the side wall from rubbing or a good idea? because the ranorris tires are "procomp etreme a/t" 1/4" away and toyo's side wall stick out 1/2" so think a 1/2 spacer will work?

They shouldn't stick out to far since your keeping the stock rims. Wandell can tell you for sure

Right. How far the tire sticks out depends on the wheel. Since you are keeping the oem wheels, just compare how much wider the new tire is vs. your oem tire. Divide the difference in width by two and that is how much farther they will stick out. For instance, if the new tire is 2 inches wider than the oem tire, it will stick out 1 inch farther.
