I am running a 6" lift and want to go with a 35" tire on a 84 Chevy K30. The tire size will be 35x12.50x16. I would like to keep the tires under the truck as much as possible without rubbing. Anyone here have a like type setup? What backspacing are you running and what width wheel 16x10 or 16x8? Some say the 16x8 will protect the rim more ????
