Update my wheels are mb vdrive 16x8.5 with 0 offset

Most wheels don't have enough backspace & the tires stick oput to much causing the rubbing,I have 35's on my truck & had special wheels steel ones made with if I remeber 51/2" backspace & they barely rub w/stock suspension.

do you have any pic's?

so if I just turn the wheel and compress my springs and measure the distance between the inside of my tire and my wheel well than I should be able to figure out what I can use for back spacing correct?

lift it more! LOL

isissound

i wish i could but mass lift law is really strickt i am only allowed about 6 in of total lift (body + suspention + tires = total lift) over stock hight

isissound

and i dont think i can go over a 3" suspention lift without really getting expensive correct? so maby a 1" body lift is instore but thats the question i have and is there anything i have to be carefull of with a 3" suspention lift and a 1 or 2" body lift? does anything need to be extended?

would different rims cost less or more than a body lift?

i got 35inch tires on my truck with the same lift on my truck. the tires rubbed the mud flaps that that was it. i had to put longer control arms on it. i dont know if you did that. all i did was take off the mudd flaps.

ya by law mass requires me to have fender flairs on my truck. the tires cant stick out past the side of the truck

If your rubbing the inner fenderwell at normal ride height, try compressing the suspension, it will probably rub worse. If I was you I'd open up the wheel wells, order a set of bushwacker flares and get to cutting. I think you'll like the looks of your truck better than if you added a body lift. If you don't feel comfortable cutting on a new truck I'm sure a local body shop could help. Or you can pie cut the inner fenderwell and weld in some new metal and push it farthur away from the tire. Just a couple of idea's for you and both would work, however not easily completed. Good luck

i have no problem with cutting i have bushwacker fender flairs on the truck now thats where im hitting right where the fender flair screws to the fenderwell in the back out side of the wheel right by the door. can i get a larger fender flair to do what i am looking for?

I can't really tell from your picks which type of flares you have, but here is bushwakers link. I think with the pocket style flare you shouldn't have a rubbing issues. give them a call.
