what wheels and tires should i get?

[gte674n]

Hi,

 

I've got a 2006 Silverado Z71 4x4. It came with 17" rims and the 31.5" tires. I recently had a Fabtech 6" lift installed. I now want to run 35" tires. What do you guys suggest? The stock tires are 10.5" wide. There is no clearance on the back side so I'm gonna have to go with different backspacing to run 12.5" wide tires. When I say no clearance I'd say there is less than 1/8" clearance from rubbing something on the wheel and tire on the inside of the front wheels. The fabtech website suggest 4 5/8" backspacing to run 35x12.5 R17's. From searching the forums, I've found the stock rims are 5" backspacing. I don't know how the 4 5/8" backspacing would allow these wider tires to fit. Are the stock rims more than 5"?

 

What tire/wheel combo are you guys running on a similar setup?

 

Thanks!
