35"s and leveling kit question

Ok so I'm putting on a 6" pro comp lift this summer hopefully, but as of right now I'm still short on the cash...so I was wondering if it would be possible to run the wheels and tires with a leveling kit and then have the lift installed when i can afford it. I don't really know anything about backspacing/offset, I just found out what I needed for the lift and picked it out. What I am pretty much set on at this point is these wheels....http://www.ballisticoffroad.com/whee...rd_EMR-810.htm in the 18x9 with 5" of backspacing and35" km2's. I just want to know if there is a way I can run my wheels and tires before I get the lift. Thanks

Would it be possible to do something like a leveling kit and add a leaf to get enough clearance for them?

I wish I knew my backspacing as I have a 2" Leveling kit w/ 35's and get zero rubbing at all. I know they are 17x9" ProComp wheels, but they came with the truck when I bought it.

But it is entirely possible w/ the right offset/backspacing. I'm sorry I can't help further, but I have looked all over the wheel and can't find the specs on the backspacing.

Hey dude. Blackout FX4 has a 2.5 in leveling kit and is rocking 325/50r22 which equals 35 in tires. The only rubbings he has is when he backs up at full tilt. So look at his page.
