First look at my K10 with 2-1/2" Skyjacker lift
I just completed the installation of my Skyjacker lift. I installed new front and rear springs. Now I'm in the process of evaluating my wheels. I installed 2-new BF Goodrich tires on Rally wheels and two on original steelies. I was hoping to use the original white steelies that I had, but I don't care for the 3" backspacing. It pushes the tires out too much past the fenders for me. They are original 15X8 drum-brake steel wheels with 3-nubs. Looks like I'm going to go with the 15X8 Rally wheels with 4" backspacing. Just sets the tires in a little more. I do like the lift though. The lift gave me about 3" more height with my original tires. With the new 33's, I get a total of about 5" over what I had originally.
My plan will be to blast and paint the rally wheels either white or body color. Feel free to voice opinions.
Does anyone know what the backspacing is on the 4-nub 15X8 steelies is? These are the wheels that can be used with disc brakes.
Pic-1 is before lift kit
Pic-2 is after lift kit with original wheels and original 31x10.5x15 tires
Pic-3 is after lift kit with original wheels and new 33x12.5x15 tires
Pic-4 is after lift kit with rally wheels and new 33x12.5x15 tires
