I just picked up a set of these with 35 12.50 17 tires. They have 1200 miles on the whole package. I am planning on a 6 inch RCD. The backspace is 5.25. Would like to know opinion of set up. Will I be o.k. with this offset?

BTW, I paid 800 bucks for the all 4. I thought that was a pretty good deal.:D

Tires

The wheels are polished, just got through using the Miguer's power ball with Wenol polish. Really look great. I am old school I guess, I like the polished look, for me sometimes the chrome is just too bright.....

The tires are sxt from Les Schwab, I dropped by one of their stores and they said those tires run about $300 each and are one of their best. I also had a chance to see an '07 chevy longbox 3500 SRW with the same wheel with the same backspacing on a 6 inch lift. I must say they looked great. It was tight with the steering nuckle, but it fit and did not have any rubbing. Tomorrow the lift goes on.....

Some may disagree, but I am going with the Schwab Tuff country. Priced competitively, tons of stores in our area, if problem they will handle. For me this works great. Plus they were the only ones that could prove to me that 5.25 inch backspacing would work with their lift. No one else could...
This will let me tuck the tires in.

That backspacing will work only on wheels 17" diameter and up, you can go as high as 6.5" bs with 17+" wheels
