All depends on the backspacing. Some lifts require a special backspacing. I'm sure they will work but I'll let someone else chime in on this one. I've never paid attention to all that stuff but guess I've just lucked out so far.

I have the Pro-comp 6" lift kit and have 20" Monsters with a -12mm off-set, and they fit on the truck. However, there is some minor rubbing at times when the wheel is turned all the way while at the same time hitting a bump. I thought my wheel was 9"s wide, but last I checked on KMC's website they only show a 20x10" with a -12mm off-set, so either my wheel which was figured to be a 9" wide is actually a 10" wide, or they stopped production of the 20x9" with a -12mm off-set. No matter what, that doesn't affect you, haha. Sorry, for the take over. I'm sure they will fit, but I don't want to be "that guy," so I'll let somebody else comment. BTW, good luck.

Are your tires a true 35" tire? I'm running 34.3"(295/70/r18) tires on a 2.5" level with a 4.5" BS wheel(Required BS for most lifts) and have no rubbing after trimming. If your going to run a lift at some point a -12offset with a true 35" tire will rub.

That last part isnt true...Most 6" kits require 4.5" BS to clear the new steering knuckle. This is like what you said Golfer...you were right. If you look at the lift thread a lot of the guys have 35x12.5 with 6" lifts.

If you go with a BDS lift, I can tell you a 5.5" BS will work as well as a 4.5" BS.

20x9, 5.5" BS with 295/65/20 (35.1" x 11.6") 6" BDS.

18x9, 4.5" BS with 37x12.5. Granted its a 8" BDS in this pic but still applies to the situation.

My bad, meant to come out as if he only has a level now, a 4.5" BS wheel will cause a true 35 to rub with due to width.
