Depends how deep your pockets are. As noted in the pics I posted I'm running 32's with 18" wheels and have the 4" RC lift/level. 4" up front 2" in back.

Perhaps you bought the wrong wheels/tires? What I have works very well together.

i may not understand entirely, but i believe the backspacing issue is only meant for 18s. if you have 22s the backspacing may work. when i did mine the 18s i had wouldn't fit on the lift because they would hit the new "bulkier" steering knuckle. i went up to 20s with backspacing within .25" of the 18s and no problem. i would ask a local shop or whoever you bought your wheels from to verify because I'm not 100 percent sure. i would definatly go to atleast 35"s though if you decide to lift but to each their own

edit** i have 20x9 wheels with 5.5" backspacing now i believe

My wheels are 18x9 with 4.5 backspacing, not sure which does it, the backspacing or the offset but my wheels give a lot more clearance between the hubs/knuckles etc than stock. Before I could see the rear shocks were real close to the tires in back, but now I have a ton of space between.

U should have planned better and bought different wheels. You could use wheel adapter/spacers. I would try to get quality ones though. Btw 33s r going to look small with a 6 inch kit
