33" Tires on 3.5" / 4" lift w/ Flat Fenders

This is what 33"x10.5" tires look like on 3.5"-4" of lift. Great Daily Driver, great off road.

I mean you could make super stock axles
But I'd rather spend the money on something that's stronger from the get go.

So how much back spacing for a 35's? (just to double check I need 3-4 inches bs on 33's right?)

Depends on how far you want them to stick out. I'd at least put chromos up front for 35s. Also if you don't regear its going to blow ***. 35s isn't as simple as throwing them on...

depends on your driving style. If you're a smart wheeler and you don't bang it off the rev limiter you may be fine.

I realize this, I am simply buying the wheels with enough back spacing to run 35's. I will be running 33's until I have the money to build up my axles

Thanks Dukie! I'll stay off the skinny pedal.
