I just ordered my 6 inch rough country lift and am going to run 35/12.50/r20 toyo open country mt. I am looking to run my stock rim but I need 3-5" of back spacing. I was wondering if there is anyway i am able to do this without using wheel spacers. My fx4 has the appearance group package so they are the black 20" rims. Thanks for all your anticipated help! Any suggestions are helpful.

unless your lift kit comes with new control arms that are longer (while still maintaining the proper mount point for the lower portion of the strut), you're not going to change the centerline of the stance of your truck - which will mean some rubbing from the tires. That's just how it goes w/ the factory wheels.

Thats one reason you typically see aftermarket wheels on trucks with larger than stock tires. Like them or not, you need them for proper spacing unless you use wheel spacers.

If only someone would make a very very very plain 6 spoke wheel in brushed aluminum or a gunmetal gray color (basically the current FX wheels) but have them with a slight offset for wider tires... then I would get them and put on 295's instead of the stock 275 width ... but for now, i'll just keep running the 275s and keep my beautiful factory wheels.

I've got a 2013 platinum w/4" rough country & 35" kumho mt's on stock rims no spacers don't know if that helps you or not

Mpierro

do you know the backspacing of your rim?

Mpierro

both the 6" and 4" call for the same specifications of tire width/backspacing... you could be onto something!!!! how is your rubbing?

Never measured it sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in on this

I've got zero rub anywhere. There's prob 3/4" of space between tire & control arm. I've seen a xlt w/6" rcx & 18" stockers no spacer so thought I would try & it works perfect.

hopefully... sweet truck though! Would have gotten a platinum if they had one on the lot "/
