Tire Size and Wheel Back Space with Rancho 4in Lift

[SpringerF8]

Hi guys,

 

Looking for some feedback from the Rancho 4 inch lift owners out there. Recently purchased the lift and I am wondering what size tires you are running and what backspacing you are working with on the wheels? Pics would be great.

 

I will be putting these on a 2011 1500 Silverado.

 

Thanks!

Per Rancho's website, in the installation guide, it states, "This suspension system was developed using the following tire & wheel combination: BFG All Terrain™ 315/70 R17 tire, 17 x 8 wheel with 5.5 inches of wheel backspacing. Total backspacing is 6.5 inches. Trimming the bottom corners of the front bumper is required. 20” OE wheels with 275/65 R20 tires will fit this system. Before installing any other combination, consult your local tire and wheel specialist."

 

This is for kit RS6583B 2013 - 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO / GMC SIERRA 1500 4WD - 4-IN. SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Thanks for the reply. Yes I read through the installation guide and saw what they used for their build. I just haven't seen a lot of people running 17's with that combo so I was looking to see what other combinations there were that worked. Also the dilemma I am having is the wheels I am looking at are 17x9 with either 5.71 inches of backspace or 4.53 depending on the offset I go with.
