Rockstars and Carli?

Anybody running a Carli Starter pack with 20's and 35's?
I'm thinking about going with 20x8.5 BLACK Rockstars with 35x12.5x20 Toyo MT's.
BlackSunShyne's truck has won me over.. I know he has like a 4-4.5" Superlift, but wondering what you guys think about going with the Carli Starter? I think the Carli only lifts the front 2.75" and the rear 1" - is this enough for 35"?
Also, how do you think the BLACK Rockstars will look on a silver truck?
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated....

Yeah, the carli should be plenty of lift. I run the Kore levelling kit. Its basically the same as the Carli kit, and I fit 35's with the stock wheels. But it should fit for sure.

Thanks...I thought they probably would work, but didn't know if I needed to go to 33x12.5 just to make sure....
Anybody else have any comments???

My friends truck has 35" Toyos and no lift whatsoever. Rubs on controls arms but you only feel it when turning it into a parking spot. Nothing to get panties in a bunch over, though. You will be fine.

You just have to watch the backspacing on those rockstars. My moto's with a 4.5" backspacing don't let me clear much more than 34's now with very little clearance. But that is with a 2" level kit.

You are going to be fine with the backspacing, the Rockstars are running 5.14" (with the 20x8.5s). I am clearing these no problems. Actaully a friend just bought an 07 just like my truck only long bed, we mounted them up just for fun on his stock truck, and only had very light rubbing at the locks.

We'll do on the pics, but it could be longer than I anticipated! Can't seem to find any Rockstars in the whole country, everybody is on backorder.....Anybody know of a place with them in stock?

I'll keep you all posted if I find them.

Thanks for the comments and help
