Need some help

Getting a 6" fabtech for my 2wd 150

I want 18 inch rims. I'm looking at the american racing cannons in which i get very good deals on

There is a 4.5 and 5 inch backspace, which would yall recommend?

325/65/18 .. Is that what most people with 18's run? If not what do you run?

I want 35" tall tires.

thanks and i appreciate it!

That size tire is a 35x13x18 and would probably work out great on a 9" wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing. Check out Fabtech's requirement's for wheels with this size tire on a 4x2 lifted truck. You may have clearance problems on the front. Also I hope Wandell can also give you some advice.

They say a 315/70/17 w/ 5" backspacing.. I'm just worried about that tire being alittle bit wider

Most companies are a little conservative in their estimates. The 325/65-18's are only 10mm wider than a 315/70-17. Did they mention a recommended rim width?

Use 315/70R17 Tires w/ 17x8 Wheels w/5" BS w/Minor Trimming
I was looking at 18x9 with 5 inches of backspacing.

They will probably fit with a little trimming. You could add a leveling kit to make sure you have enough room.
