wheels and tires
gettin a 6 inch lift which 33's will clear no prb so the tires are gna be 33 12.50 15 what size rim ration should i get i think it would be 12 but not sure kinda my first time doin tires believe it or not. and if anybdy know what a good website would be for wheel and tire packages. thanks
6" lift should clear 35s with no problem.
Rule of thumb I've used is that rim size should be about 2" narrower than the tire. I have 12" rims on 33x12.50R15 on my Jeep - looks good and very full. I would think 10" rims would be OK - also much cheaper - seems to be a big jump in dollars from 10s up to 12s. 8s would probably make the tire look like a doughnut, with the sidewalls sucked in too much.
TireRack does pretty good. Suggest to get a 4Wheel&OffRoad mag or the like - prices are pretty competitive. Just have to watch out for the shipping charges.
*edit* nashtruck - have to keep in mind that Germany is 6 hours ahead of US Central time. :-)

A 6" lift will easily clear 35's. I have a 6" Fabtech lift and 35x12.50's, my wheels are 18x9 and I have no issues. The thing you want to look at is the wheel backspacing, the stock wheels have 5.5" of backspacing so if you get a wheel that's close to that then you'll have no issues.
