Wheel Spacing

[headstrong]

I am looking to buy my new wheels tires, and my lift kit, is it possible for me to know what I need for spacing, even though I have not yet installed my lift kit?

Do you mean back spacing? That shouldn't change with a lift but heres some info you may find helpfull http://www.trdoffroad.com/forums/index.php/topic,444.0.html

If your wondering how big a tire you can fit with your lift we may be able to help with a little more info.  What kind/size lift are you doing? Are you staying with 16" wheels?

ok so from what I read, if I want my tires to no protrude out from my fenders too much, I want the number of back spacing to be larger, am I understanding that correctly?  A - backspacing would mean a larger protrution?

As for teh lift,  I would like a 4# suspention lift, enough room so I can fit 16" wheels, with 33" tires. I am trying to figure out the best manufacturer for the price, and teh best website to purchase from. I would like coilovers, are there and full packages out there, so I do not have to piece parts together to order?

More back spacing (higher numbers) will put your tire further under your truck. Less back spacing will move the tire out further. I would recomend sticking with stock back spacing and just going with a larger tire. With 4"you should fit a 16" X 33" no problem. Thats what size tire I have with a 2-1/2" suspension lift and a 1" body lift. I do have some minor rubbing issues with that combination but not too bad. I used my stock 16" wheels with 285/75 - 16 BFG's.

When I did my lift I just called Camburg and bought the "Full Performance 2.5 system" with the optional upper A-arms. It is pricy and it won't get you 4" of lift but it's good stuff.

What type of truck do you have?

I have a 2004 ext. cab. TRD, with a 3.4L.  I really like what this guy did here, any thoughts or opinions about it?

on the rear I don't think I would have a bar fabed for my shocks if I did not have to but the kings with a 5" seems pretty solid. Any thoughts on the quality of the products he used?

looks like a very nice setup, I think that most systems are close to the same in quality just remember you get what you pay for.
