Help with 1989 K1500 Lift

[1989ChevyK2500]

I did a 6 inch rcx suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift on my truck . also Rebuilt the rears to 5.13 gears. I was looking to go with at least a 38 Inch tire. What would i have to have in offset for rims and would the 38's be good or go to 40's. Im stuck at this point on what to do .

38's would be better. 40's is getting pretty hard on an IFS, especially with 2" of crank, and you might have problems rubbing on a 9" lift depending on what rims/tires you have.

Can we get pictures of the truck? Plzzzzzzzzzz! (I have a 6" RCX waiting to go on and already have a 3" body lift, wanna see what it looks like on yours )

Welll the Body is still off getting redone now, do have a few of the Chassis . did a full strip down of the chassis and everything brand new. Just need to figure the tire/rim combo now , and staying with the 38's would i need a differant backspace opposed to factory?

probably would rub the frame a lot with factory backspacing, that and the stance would't be too pretty.

I'd get some rims that stuck out an inch or two more, probably 9" wide.
