do they make those wheels any wider?? the ONLY problem i see is the 8" wheel with a 13.5" tire. it may cause a little uneven tire wear in the middle, but maybe you can just adjust your air pressure accordingly. other than that, sounds like you've got everything ironed out...order it up, get it installed, and take some pictures!!

Your going to like the revtek lift. that is what I have and it rides really good. I have had it on well over a year and is holding up great.

x2...... 13.50 is a pretty wide tire for an 8" wheel. good luck......

You might have problems with the 17 rubbing the inside weights off on the caliper.I did,go with atleast 18's.

I wouldn't mount 13.50s on an 8 inch rim. I would look for at least 9 or 10 inch wide rim.

^ I have 17's and no problems...


And that rim is definitely not wide enough...waste that rubber. Mine are 9 and I thought was cutting it close.

Well I have H2's and I know what they are talking about with the rubbing. When I take mine to Discount, they put the weights where they rub every time, even when I tell them!
