Hey guys, I am trying to narrow it down to what i want to do to my truck. I have a 06 silverado c1500 crewcab. I want to raise the truck along with getting a new set of rims and tires. I am looking at the fabtech 3.5" spendal lift or the CST 4" spendal lift. But the rims and tires i want they say will not fit, because the largest backspace i can uses is 4 5/8. The rim is a 20x9 with a 5.71 backspace and the tire i want is 33/12.5/20. What do i have to do to get these setup to work?


I thought having a bigger rim it would not effect anything. Any help on this would be great. Thanks guys.

 

run 1" spacers, ,but i don't recommend it. when the rim has more backspacing it tucks in more. it will most likely rub on the spindle or coil. what rims do you want to run? Ive got a 4in rancho spindle lift on my chevy, and i know the kit was picky on wheel backspacing.

 

fix your problems by running a 16in wheel....

20's and 33's don't look right
maby 20's and 40's but not 33's

just my .02

 

I like the qaulity of the CST stuff. Its "beefy". I personally would do 18 an 33's buts thats just my opinion.

 

I was looking at the moto metal 955 or the gear alloy Recoil 715C.


I also called cst and they said i could get away with a 5" back space but nothing more. So if i use a 1/2" spacer i should be fine right?

 

I also like the CST lift, cuase if i sell the truck, I can take it all back to stock, since there is no cutting.

 

if you are doing a 33" tire..i would go with an 18" wheel tops...like hellaslow said, it just wont look right....is it a 2wd? why do you need to lift it for some wheels? i see silverados on 24s all day long with no lift..just run some low pros..

 

its his preference for wheel/tire combo. you will need to find some 3/4" spacers to still run those wheels

 

Ideally you'd want a 3/4" hub centric spacer to do it correctly. GM's truck dont have full thread engagement until about 6 threads in.

 

Ok thanks guys. It gives me something to think about.
