rims/tire questions
the lifty kit i just bought suggest 35" tires by 12,5", im cool with that, found tons online that are cool.
my question is what size rim should i go with? i have stock 18" rims on my 2008, what is the smallest size rim that would fit? 15", 16" to hold a 35" tire?

Re: rims/tire questions
Some say u can run 15, some say the calipers hit. I think it is just the rubi's 44 front that has problems with 15's. I would stay to at least a 16 to avoid problems, smaller are obviously cheaper. I went with 17's on mine. Just like the look of the bigger rim, less bubble look to the tire, but thats just a preference thing. 4.5 inch back spacing so u don't scrub, or u have to run spacers. Realize that the tires are going to stick out past your flares with 12.5 wide. Can go to metric sizing to get a narrower tire. Search google for a tire size calculator if u want to play with some sizes. Hope this helps!
