is this 4" and 35's?

this stance looks perfect i think it's 4" and 35's but sometime when I see that combo it looks more stuffed which keeps me from going 4 and 35's…weird

4" and 33's, 4" is enough for 37's, which is why my old truck looked stupid.

I don't think it looks stupid. If you take that truck off road I'll bet that 33" tire will rub the front fender. I went 2" and had to trim the fender for 33's.

Bro,

4" isn't enough for 37s. The tires wouldn't clear the sheet metal.

I have 4" and 31s. These K10s came with 29" tires stock.

As far as clearence goes, all really depends on your wheels size and backspace. I had 35x12.50 On 15x7 wheels with about 4" backspace and never rubbed even flexing. I had 33x12.50 on a set of 15x14 wheels with 3 5" backspace and rubbed even just turning. All with a 4" lift.

No chance of rubbing with these 31x10.50s

That truck was Offroad more than it was on. Never rubbed.

Trimming behind the fender gets a 37 on a 4" lift on these truck's, I guess it's all about what you're building, pavement princesses use 10" of lift for 35's, off roaders use 4 for 37's.

Do you want to trim? Not trim? Trying to run stock wheels? 2" of offset? Stancelyfe yo? It all makes a difference, and all depends on what you have, what is your goal, and who you ask in what corner of the Internet.

Here's a thread full of different lift height's running 37's, FWIWhttp://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/chevy/917101-lift-cut-crew-cab-tow-rig-37s.html

Re: is this 4" and 35's?

Yup, lots of fender cutting in that thread. It looks like 33's are about max without fender trimming with some lift. It's almost impossible to get a truck inspected up here with 35's, 33's are kinda iffy. A few years ago 35's were the holy grail of streetable off road tires, now everybody is going to 37's I guess. I plan to put 35's on my K15 this year with 2" of lift and will have to look into moving that front axle forward a couple inches to minimize fender trimming. If I didn't already have the tires I would probably go with 33's and be happy with that.

Re: is this 4" and 35's?

Looks like 4" 35s to me. I ran that combo on my 90 Sub and I had zero rubbing issues I even had that truck in some tight spots with no problems.

The owner is saying it's -- 4" lift with 35 x 12.50 tires.
