AND looking at clearances that I have the 5.25 should fit fine and will help with the clearance issue. So anyway I am waiting of a second set of wheels to be cut, not happy at all. I will try the 5.25 and see how they work out. I will sell off the 4.5 and take a beating for sure. I have seen other lifts going down the road and you can tell that the front is noticeably narrower than with the FT just don't know what lifts they are.
Ahhh, I see what you mean. Yeah I have 20x9 wheels that have a +12 offset which is like a 5" backspace (at the least) so hopefully I will be alright. Let me know how yours ends up and how you make out with the bilsteins in the rear. I am looking to do the same thing so itd be nice to see what yours looks like. Thanks

So if I got pro comp it wouldn't have the issues of rubbing with a -12 or 4.5" back spacing?
