i dont have an exact answer, but if you are buying from a good dealer, they should know the exact setup for the look you want with a lift.

I would do the lift first then tires and wheels. That way you can fit those monster under there with less issues. You may not need the offset if you do the lift first, but don't quote me

if you already have your lift kit picked out it should tell you what the wheel requirements are.

Are you leveled already? If not, those 35's aren't going to fit. I would save up and buy it all at once (wheels, tires and lift). That way, the wheels aren't sitting around, waiting on the lift.

yeah ive got a 2.5 in the front and i can clear some 35s and get new 18s for em.. im tryin to just get the tires and rims first then come back and get the lift since it will be about 3 or 4 months until i buy the lift.. and i gotta get the new tires on it soon because mine are bald as hell.. so i figured id just go ahead and get new tires and rims now then the lift later
