Question BDS 6 inch lift question.

I'm looking to get this kit but want to know if I can fit Moto Metals 961 wheels. They are 20x10 -24 offset and 4.5 backspace on 35x12.5 tire. Their website states to use a 17 x9 with 4 5/8 backspace with a 35x12.5 tire, so I don't know if the 20 x10 will work. Can someone help me out before I purchase these wheels thanks?

I have a fabtech with similar rims in specs. 20x10 -24 offset. With my 35 12.5 they rubbed on full lock turns both ways so I added an 1.5" level

You think minor trimming if required will solve the rubbing issue.

Well I added the spacer to mine cause I didn't wanna trim. It's on the back of the fender. You can prolly get away with it. But sometimes if I'm turning and hit a bump pretty good it'll rub. I haven't really been offroading other than the beach in a while. Plus I wanted mine to sit a little higher in the front.

Question

I heard spacers using spacers isn't recommended, I'd rather just do some trimming if I have to.

You can stackoup to extra 2inch spacer an 35s DO NOT RUB. 35s usually measure 34 inches

My mud grapps measure out to be 35.04 according to the site. Some are smaller than 35" some are bigger. And the only reason he would be rubbing is cause the wheel specs. Also adding a leveling spacer on top of a 6" lift spacer isn't the best of ideas. I'm sure it can be done and has been done, but isn't recommend. My 6" and 35's rubbed with the same spec wheels
