Rims and wheel spacer questions 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 Falken 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?

Stock rims will work, but you will definitely need wheel spacers if you go that route to avoid rubbing your radius arm. If you are thinking of getting new wheels, get something with a deeper well and you won't need the wheel spacers. 15x10 with the right backspace would probably be the way to go. Here's my rig with 4" of lift over 33 12.50's on stock rims. Rubbing radius arms though so I am getting 2" wheel spacers so I can go full lock. Remember to extend your front bumper out too so you can avoid rubbing.
