1987 k5 question
 
whats the biggest tire i can fit with a 6 inch suspension lift? i'm thinking 35 14.50 15. anyone running bigger without the tires hitting? i'm not going to be doing extreme flexing.

I know you can run 35's with a 4" lift, with a 6 I would assume a little bit more. I'm just guessing though.

I believe you can fit 38s with a 6 inch

38s on a 6 inch are really pushing it. i ran 38s on 3 trucks with 6inch lifts. its possible to drive it on the road without it rubbing but any big bumps or any turns over like 2 mph they rub.

can always slap a 2 inch body lift on

35 x 12.5 easily on a 6" lift. They rub on a 4" even with trimming.

35/12.50/15 on a 6inch lift

as you can see you can technically drive it. i drove it like 5 miles to work like that rubbed a few times while turning and hitting hard bumps

thanks for the pics. 35x12.50's is what i have now on 15x10 wheels. i'm putting 37 13.50's on 15x14 wheels. hope it doesn't hit but if it does i guess i'll have to jack it up a little higher
