Well, I finally got a job. A bad *** job at a car wash near my house. Almost 10 hour days, Sunday-Thursday at 10/hr. It doesn't seem like a lot, but considering the only bill I have is half my insurance ($75) and whatever I use for gas, that's a lot. So I'm going to be spending a lot of money on my truck, and one of the first things on my list includes my 2.5" RC lift, Crager soft 8 wheels and some tires.

Alright first thing, with my lift (2.5") what size tire can I run? I want to fill it good, I can run 33x10.50's now, and was wondering if I could run 35's on the lift? Or if I will have to run 33's? Either way they will be 12.50 wide, witch applies to my next question.

I plan to run a 12.50 wide tire, i want them to stick out maybe 3-4" past my fenders, I like the low wide stance and i was wondering what off set i need, i was looking at 15x10 crager soft 8's with -4" back spacing, would that stick it out far or suck it up in?

 

pretty sure that's the backspacing i got on my rims and the tires do stick out a couple inches from the fenders. i got 33x12.5s

 

got a picture that shows it? if so it would be cool if you could post it.

 

i'll try to get one

 

this one kind of shows how far it sticks out

 

how much lift is that?

 

its just leveled with F-250 coil springs right now

 

depending on how picky your local cops are, you can get a ticket for your tires sticking out like that.

 

To the OP...you might keep in mind that your tires will throw every bit of mud there is all over the sides of your truck unless you get some flares. I had the tires on my Jeep sticking out about 2" from my fenders and it made DDing it a pain in the ***. Looks cool though, and adds quite a bit of stability. Just throwing that out there...

 

I've got 15x10 Centerline 12 holes with a 4" backspace. My 31x10.50s on those stick out about an inch. That's with a 2.5" lift also
