help with 4.5 lft and 35s?
I just ordered a 4.5 RC suspension lift and i want to put 35 inch tires. I was just wondering what else i will have to do besides fender trimming? also if i can fit 35x12.5s on it with an off setted rim?

bump stops.
and yes, tons of trimming.
when you say off setted rim, it sounds like you are more familiar with sport compact wheels. for jeep/truck wheels, the measurement is in back spacing. for 35/12.5/15 tires, you should run something like a 15 by 8 wheel with around 3.75" backspacing.
post up some pics when its done. I'd love to see one with only 4.5'' lift and 35's.
