I have read that you need at least 5.5 back spacing to keep them from sticking out.

those ain't gonna work with just a leveling kit...it'd probably take 5"s of lift not to get into the fenders!!

you need to find something with at least 5.5" of b/s and preferably not so wide of a wheel!

good luck.

35" with those wheels= rub city! 33's would probably fit but that offset and bs will stick out quite a bit.

the wheel is only 9.5" wide the stock one is 8 i think that is only a inch and a half bigger is that going to make the tire that much wider sorry for all the question tires and wheels are expensive and dont want to buy the wrong thing

by the way thanks for your help

it's not just the width of the wheel, but the 4.5" bs that accounts for it sticking out so much. with my flares, 8.5" wide wheels with 5" bs look perfect and don't rub with 35's, but i also have 3 1/2" lift.

yeah, it's gonna make a difference....just to give you an idea (and as i've told others) i've got 37's on 17x10" wheels which have a little over 5" of backspacing...i can rub the rear of my front fenders on a daily basis with 7"s of lift.

the ideal wheel would be somewhere between 5.5-6"s of backspacing, and with a 12.5" tire, you'll be fine with an 8.5" wide wheel. if you're wanting a combo that sticks out some for the looks factor then you're gonna have to get some ride height to clear the fenders.
