anyone running 12 wides?

so im about to order a 6 inch kit in the near future and every site says rims have to be atleas 17's and recommended width is 7-9 wide. ive seen some ppl running 16's tho... but i was wondering if you can run 12 wides?

 

what tire? 12 wides will balloon out pretty much all tires that people run this this lift.

with the desired backspacing to clear the suspension, you will have rubbing issues too.

I run 33 x 12.50s on a 17x9 with 4.5" backspacing and I had to trim the fender flares a tad.

just gunna run 33 12.50s. but was wonderin if you can run 12 wides on these trucks cause i like my tires wide as i can get em. i got 15.50s on a 14 wide on one of my trucks and 33 12.50s on 12 wides on another one.

so does anyone run 12 wides?

does anyone have mesaurements of how far 12.50s on a 9 wide stick out past the fender?

 

Mine probably stick out 2 to 2.5 inches past the flare at most

i am running 16x12s with a 2" spacer and 36x15.5s

 

why would you want to run that wide?

 

cause i like the way it looks and i mostly run on the beach so it suits my uses

 

thats true if your doing alot of sand driving

 

you should post more pictures so i can get a better look at your whole truck =)

 

yeah i know im not gonna be out jumping dunes and what not but it does awesome in the sand and mud and i will see what i can do about pics im new to forum life and im still figuring this shit out

 

i am just realizing i dont have a whole lot of pics of my truck they are mostly from this beach trip ha ha

 

s1nner, i could of sworn i saw your truck over the summer at sandbridge and that bitch looks bad. im out in chesapake myself

 

You appear to have no tailgate handle...interesting...

 

I feel bad for your wheel bearings

 

yeah you probably did see me at sandbridge and thnks and yes i flipped the handle inside and shaved it it was pretty easy

 

thats just the price you pay dude its all good i have resources for this type of thing im no dummy i knew what i was getting myself into

 

has your 16's ever rubbed the caliper or anything?
