The plan for my truck is 6+3 and 35x12.5's. I'm not going to get the 6" right now, but I am however going to get the 3" body lift and the 35s right now. The tires are 35x12.5x15 BFG M/T KM2's. I'm not sure what backspacing I can run to avoid them rubbing the bumper(Don't want to trim it). I want to run like 4" or less backspacing on a 15x10 rim. Does anyone know of trucks running 35x12.5 with a body lift, and what backspacing the wheels have?

agreed a smaller rim would really help alot. the less then 4 inch backspace REALLY kills it. if you could do like 4.5 or so BS or maybe even more not real sure if they'd clear the susp. but they'd help the tires clear the bumper and fenders.

I'm running 33's with nothing. But, I also have 17" wheels with 4.5" backspacing and -11 offset. Like Chris said, the backspace is going to kill ya.

i clear mine just fine with a lil trim of the bottom of the bumper and tiny bit on the fender, but most of the fender was because of the 36" tsl tires on nbs rims i had before

they can clear if you trim a slight bit and crank

Or how about 15x8, 4" bs, 35x12.5 a 15x8 would stick out a full 2" less. I could possibly go closer to 3.5" BS with a 15x8 yeah?
