He is asking you the wheel size like a 15x8" with 3.75" of back spacing. With a 6.5" lift you can go with a 35x12:50x15" tire, I have ran 33x12:50x15's with a 3" lift for example. You do know that a lot of other things are required with a 6.5" lift are required don't you that don't come with the kit.


I suggest you do a lot more reading on the subject before buying anything.

I'm running the 6.5 inch lift with 33s. I didn't have to trim anything except for about 1/4 inch of the plastic bumper guard so it wouldn't rub on wide turns. But soon after, I got the steel bumper up front, so I don't rub at all now.

As for backspacing, you want 8 inch wide 15 inch rims with 3.75-inch backspacing. I use the Cragar V-5 steel wheels.
