I am getting ready to install and RCD 6" lift on a 2005 CC LB 4x4 Chevrolet. My question is to those with an RCD lift what wheels are you using and what backspacing are they?


Thanks.

I have 17x9's alcoas with 5" rear spacing. Had to add .250" spacers (really only needed it on one but added both) with them. Check sig 4 pics.

What ever you do make sure you get the proper backspacing, I ordered new wheels and tires, waited about 3 weeks for them to arrive. Waited about 3 hours for installation. Went to pull out of the bay and the Dumbarse ordered my wheels with the improper backspacing. They did not do a wheel check. Next thing I know they are breaking all 8 post on driver and passenger fronts to get the wheels off. The inside of the wheels were bound by the spindles and had to be forced apart with a sledge. Any way after a week of Bitchen 2 allignments and a HUGE discount they fixed it, so make sure your backspacing is right and have them do a test fit before you put it in reverse and mash the right pedal. The stupid thing for me was I did not need new wheels I just wanted them some times I cannot understand the difference between want and need. Good luck
