    Lift and Fitment

    This is what I know fits from my own experiences and will leave you without rubbing the tires. Very minimal if you do.

    Most lift do require a certain amount of back spacing, but with an inch we're talking a little more cranking or a small amount of trimming to gain the needed clearance.

    I run 37 13.5's on a 10" wide wheel with a 6" and 3" BL, they just needed a bit of cranking to clear and the normal lower valance trimming....

    Good comments guys. Backspacing and lift brands do also make a difference. As well as the tire brand to its sizing.

    Just a quick reference guide mainly.
