Re: 15 x 10 wheels on a k10 what works good?

The 10" wheels might make the difference between rubbing and not rubbing. Is that a 4" lift? From my experience, 4" lift with 35/12.50s draws the line between fitting with 8" wheels and light rubbing with 10s. I currently have 8" wheels, 4" lift, and 285/75s. All work very well together. I want to go to 35s and really like 10" wheels better for the look I want. But when I had 35/12.50-16.5s on 9.75" slots they rubbed some when flexing on a turn. People seem to have no issues running 12.50s on 8" wheels. It seems to be the standard these days, when back in the day we always ran them on 10s. Less are should flatten your tread out

As far as air pressure goes, I have been running 27psi. recently changed to 24psi and the tread is flatter. I have read that 20 psi is minimum>>?
