Default Rough country lift & stock wheels question

I wont be able to afford a 4" - 6" Suspension lift and wheels at same time.

Will the rough country 6" and or 4" lift work with the stock wheels... current size is 265/75/r16

if I decide to get new wheels first which is most likely the case since i will need new tires before winter comes what is the largest size i could fit under stock suspension?

would that largest wheel size that would fit with stock suspension look weird (being still small) once i did get a lift?

do u see my dilemma? lol being poor sucks! haha

You can run the stock wheels, but I think you'll need wheel spacers to do so. I think the 1/2" slip ons will work but not sure on that one. And a 285/75/16 will look decent on a lift if it's decranked all the way

Buy the lift then go to eBay right now and they have a set of 1/2 wheel spacers for $26. If you get a 4" lift it wouldn't look bad at all.
