Okay I think I have finally settled in on a plan: Maxtrac's 2wd 7" lift, 20x12 moto metal 962's, and 37 or 35x12.50 Toyos.
My only concern is rubbings. If anyone has any experience with this set up please let me know.
And if it does rub, couldn't I just throw on some spacers and solve it?

Combining a 12 inch wide wheel with wheel spacers would make any rubbing worse. If you meant coil spring spacers, I,m not sure if you can with that lift. With a wheel that wide, you,ll probably have to go with a 35 inch tire.

Hey brother I think you and I have spoken through email about this... I agree on the 35's man. I say that because the customers that are running our 7" kit on 37" tires are running 9" wide wheels with about a 5" backspacing and most of the tires are 12.50" wide with very minimal trimming. Same wheel setup but with 13.50" requires a bit more trimming. I just think with that wide of a wheel and tire you are going to be clobbering your fenders when you turn. Just my opinion but not positive maybe by some chance you will be able to trim enough to get it to clear? I hope someone on here can chime in with a similar setup and let us know if this will work or not. Thanks again for your support!

I think you may have me confused with someone else, I know I wasn't the only one thinking of this setup! :roflsquared:

Are you referring to the 37" or 35" tire here? I know a guy on here is running your guys' 4.5" lift with a 20x12 wheel on 33's, which makes me think that I could fit 35's on the 7" lift. I knew 37's would probably be out of the picture.
