35's with keys?

[FusionX]

I picked up a set of 35.1250 17 KM2's for a steal on craigslist and am looking to wrap them around Raceline Renegades 6 that are 17x9's and have 5' backspacing. I am looking at 3 inch keys for up front and 2 inch blocks for the back and i dont mind trimming some.. Any opinions on if this is a decent idea? lol.

don't waste money on keys. Just crank

I have it cranked a bit already and was thinking of decranking it.. I thought keys were better on lifting/leveling the front end then cranking?

^^^^yeah what the kid said above crank and blocks and spend the key money on a bodylift then you shouldnt have to trim

no matter what, you will only be able to crank to the bumpstops. They may be better on front end parts but not much. As others have told me, they are a glorified crank.

I've just personally never liked body lifts due to the way it looks and the gaps.. That's just my opinion though lol.. So thats why i was looking at the key/block way. Plus i dig the stuffed look.

2" body less gap

well, I'm not sure about if the backspacing will rub or not but stock is 6" bs IIRC. 5" should be pretty close to stock.

I will look into the 2' body lift.. I dont mind some trimming or cutting to make the tires fit cause i plan on getting a winch bumper down the road.

or you could completely take off the valence if that's all you need to cut.
