question about lifts and stock 17in wheels.

[boywithatruck]

getting a lift here withen the next month and noticed they all say they dont work with the 17in stock wheels.

so do they work with stock 20s if i can find a set on craigslist or can wheel spacers make the lift work on stock 17s

Ive never heard of lifts not working with stock rims. You can have any lift you want with 22" tires if you want

both the bds lift and the fabtech lift say they wont work with 17s and those are the two im looking at.

its all about offset.

I have leveled my truck with 35's and the stock 17's, and after driving about 12k miles even with 1/2" spacers the tires are beginning to Cup, i believe this is due to the fact that 35's are not a good fit with only 7" wide rims. here before to long i will be purchasing 17x9 -12 offset rims to hopefully fix the issue wive had

Guys,
I currently have the stock 20's on my 2015 1500. I want to get new 17's and go with a LT315/70R17/E 121 S.
1) What offset / backspace should I go with if I want just a little coming out of the wheel well?
2) I have the 2.1 in level lift. Will I rub going with these tires?

I want to put the BFG KO2's on.

Thanks
