Just put a new 5 inch zone lift on and some 35 nitto trail grapplers and they rub pretty bad. My mechanic told me I should get spacers to stop the rub or get new rims with better back spacing what should I do? I am also low on cash haha.

what wheels do you have now? Do you know the backspacing on them? how wide are your tires?

get new rims with a negative offset and they will never rub the knuckle. if you get spacers then id go with about an inch and a half to be safe. if your offset is positive then i would get new rims period. you generally want to look for rims with no offset with a wide rim possibly with a spacer or a negative offset and a wide rims without spacers
postings a pic in the thread will help us determine the specs. if they are newer rims then we can search them and run the specs to tell you what you need in terms of a spacer if thats the way you want to go

if you want to go with new rims and like the look of 18s stick with 18s... tires are cheaper than 20s

If you could, take one wheel off. Normally the wheel specs are stamped on the back side. Can you post some pics so we can see how bad it is ad what you're working with.

it depends on the tire and the size of rims... 40 inch tires on 18 inch wheels probably will be fine in aluminum for once a month but if you have 20s with 35 inch tires maybe steel
