stock Z71 wheels with 35's

pctchevy11 · February 15, 2012

hey guys i decided to just go with the 35's and hope it fits in the garage. quick question tho. i see guys keeping there stock 18" Z71 wheels mounted on 35's and it looks great. the backspace on the gm wheels is about 5.7 from what i can see on the internet. can i fit them with only the 6''bds lift i have on the truck? id like to do it without wheel spacers if i can. let me know with some pictures if you git them. thanks.

I can't speak from experience but I've read alot on here and no you will not fit 35"s regardless of the wheels with a 6" lift with out some fender massaging. If I'm wrong someone will be pointing it out momentarily...

The BS on those wheels will cause you grief. BDS recommends 5" of BS.

i saw bds wants at least 5'' of BS with 18's and 35's. i guess i was hoping that the extra .7 wouldnt be enough to cause a big deal. it sucks too because with 17's the highest i can go is 33'' on the tire.
