yaaa pain in the but!! I think with the size trucks I have seen on the road it must only be enforced during inspection time.

Hello all! I am a brand new member here although I've been lurking on the site for a little while now. I am currently involved in my first GMT400 project which I hope to go into more detail with pics at a later time. For now, I was hoping someone could help with a tire/wheel fittment question. I am building a 93 K1500 which currently has 3" blocks in the rear and keys in the front. I'm looking to go with 33x12.50 15's for now. What backspacing (or offset) should I go with when I buy my wheels? I want them to look good and not rub while doing some light offroading and daily driving. I will be adding a body lift later on and going to 35's but for now, the budget allows for 33's. Love the site! Keep up the great work, and thanks in advance for any feedback.

I have 15x8's with 3.75" backspacing rims. Like the stance with the tire sticking out slightly. 15x10's will cause for more rubbing and trimming needed. I ran a 2" block and crank with 33x12's with little trim or rubbing. Be warned that with to much crank the ride will suck and so wont the life of your front end.

I have to agree on the stance. Thanks a bunch for the info. The wheels I am looking at just happen to have 3.75 backspacing, I was worried it wasn`t enough...not worried any more...your truck looks great!

hey guys what are your opinions on the zoneoffroad 6 inch lift for a 97 sierra. I wanted to do a sas but i need a different t case so forget that. I had one of my old automotive teachers that i had for a while look at it and he said that would be the best one between that and roughcountry So I wouldn't have to replace balljoints every year. And the zone offroad one says that it keeps stock steering gyometry. here is the link. http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=397&gr=-1. Just want to know what yall think.

If they do they are pointless anyway, you can crank to the bump stops with the stock keys.
