[boggerunner]

u could run those with no lift, or get some shackles for the rear and crank the torsion bars up a little in the front, but dont forget to get it realighned

yea but they are WIDE. 10.5 would be perfect. correct BS might help but u will still might have some rubbing

[wflaw45 [OP]]

i already have the tires. was wondering if 2" BS wheels and a 1" body lift would be ok

[boggerunner]

dont do it, body lifts suck, are u rinning the stock rims?
i have a nice set of aluminum rims for sale that would work great

[wflaw45 [OP]]

right now it has stock rims, i was gonna buy some 15x8's

yes  that would work fine,  personally  i would find some 15x10 wheels  for a 12.5 tire  but thats just me

a 1 inch body lift is fine,  andything more is  NOT A GOOD THING

[rednk1980]

  i agree with glen. 1inch body lift is ok anything more is no bueno!

not to argue, but i had them on a 15x8 rim before and i never had a problem with breaking a bead at 0 psi

[boggerunner]

i personaly wouldnt run a 10" wide rim unless the tire was wider than 12.5, cuz i blew alot of beads with that setup, an 8 or 9 wide rim works great with 12.5 wide tires

[wflaw45 [OP]]

so now i gotta find some 15x8 w/ 2" backspace in NC

x2.


8 inch for up to 12.5 and 9 inch for 13.5 +

[79coyotefrg]

hmm maybe thats why i never airdown to 0 psi

[lethe]

2" of back spacing seems like a little much for a tire thats only 12.5 wide. i would go with a 3-3.5" back spacing. thats just my opinion though.
