I think I am going to get the Rancho lift this summer, my current wheels are 18x8.5 with +15mm offset and they have 5.74" of backspacing. Can I run a 35x12.50 or 325/65R18 with my current wheels? I just want to make sure that I don't have any surprises, thanks.

Are sure about your backspace ? Everything I have shows a +15mm offset will have a 5.3" backspace. Either way I think you will be fine by what everyone is saying. What kind of wheels are you going to use ?

Were you looking at 9" wide wheels? because mine are 8.5", not suer if thats the difference or not. They are ATX Mace I got through Tire Rack last April.

and will that change the angles for the worse than what they are now or keep them about the same.
"I" personally don't recommend it. ColonelBlue added his 2"AS to his Rancho and the angles of the upper control arm and cv look severe TO ME, although he swears it rides and functions perfectly as his. Not trying to make enemies here, I am purely stating my opinion: ColonelBlue's Rancho w/ 2"AS

Having said this, I had to add a 1" Daystar on top of my Rancho due to clearance issues with the new rims, and the angle of the upper control arm and cv look much better, and the spacer was only $35. I have pics coming soon so hang tight.

No I figured it as a 8.5" wheel. ATX website also shows it as a 5.34 backspace.

Yep, your right. Thats the number that I thought Tire Rack showed but I guess I was wrong, sorry for the confusion . So I should be able to run a 35x12.50 on this wheel with the 4" lift? Thanks.

I don't have this lift yet and unless I get a better tax return, may have to wait even longer but I don't see a problem with that combo.

How long should it take a shop to install a Rancho lift?
