This is an old picture of a truck I no longer have, but this was 35x12.5’s on the stock wheels with a 6” RCX Lift. Note, I did have wheel spacers on because with the new control arms, the tires rubbed without the spacers

You'll have to run 3/4" or 1" spacers with 12.50's on factory wheels

Looks good

What size were the wheel spacers?

To prevent having to cut your studs, I think the 1.75” to 2” spacer is mostly used. I also think some run as small as 12mm safely. Not all 12.50's rub the UCA, if it doesn't have an aggressive sidewall they might clear, some members don't use spacers at all

Well I lost all my photos so I’ll have to snap a new pic but I’m running 35’s on stock 20x9’s with no rubbing and without spacers.

4” Superlift w/Bils set at .7

ive ordered 1.5" spacers for the wheels so i hope that with 35s and a 6" lift will turn out looking okay

and if later down the road i want aftermarket wheels then ill get some with a different offset......but i kind of like how factory wheels look with spacers and 35s personally so im in no rush as long as this setup turns out okay

The only regret I have is going with the 35s....... I should have done 37s. I have a 6” pro comp lift with factory wheels 1.75” spacers

With 1.50” spacers you’ll have to cut your lug studs, if you would have bought 1.75” or greater you wouldn’t have had to cut anything.

well even with the 35s the truck looks great

if my overall outcome is anything similar ill be happy with it

your setup validates my original preference that i like the oem wheels with spacers and bigger tires than i do aftermarket wheels for the most part

With 1.50” spacers you’ll have to cut your lug studs, if you would have bought 1.75” or greater you wouldn’t have had to cut anything.

did not know that but now i do...i just might return them and go 1.75" if thats the case......hmm....i didnt want more than 1.5 so i would want to stick with the smallest amount which is apprently 1.75"

Its hit or miss with the 1.5" spacers. All depends on what wheels you have. Some of the factory wheels have a little cup on the back of the wheels that give a little extra space. I didnt have to trim any running 1.5 with my stocks. 1.75 will definetely clear though.
