Rim and wheel spacer question guys
Alright so I'm about to install a 6 inch suspension lift on my 94 f150 and I'm going to be installing a set of Rocky Mountain ATS 35x12.5x15 tires. My question is what width rims do I need to buy to get the most tread life and performance with the least risk of popping the bead or other issues? My other question is could you guys upload some pics and give your opinions on if I should install a set of 1.5 inch wheel spacers or a set of 2 inch wheel spacers?

I have 1.5" on the back and nothing on the front and the back still seem to be in a little. I wanted to go with 2" I think that'd look better. I'm not a big fan of wheel spacers on the front but a lot of people run them with no problem. And a lot of people on here will say it will depend on the back spacing of your wheel. I have 35x12.50x18 on 18x10. I'd say that's pretty good but I wouldn't go much with a much skinnier of a wheel.

Honestly I don't think you could go wrong with Mickey Thompson classics or anything that looks similar to them they look good on anything. As far as where to get them I don't know because I got mine through a local store

ya I love that style rim. I'd like to keep my stock chrome ones but they definitely can't run 35s. Mickeys are about a 150 a piece correct? That is for that particular style

Probably something like that. Yeah I have my nice 35s on 18s and then I have a set of old not the nicest shape of Mickey Thompson classics in 33s that I run in the winter but that's because of salt and that liquid stuff up here I don't know if you have that problem but if so that's a solution
