Look at the tire manufactures website for suggested wheel widths for the specific tires you are going to use, check the lift manufactures website for suggested back spacing and tire size... then confirm with the place you buy the setup.

Discount Tire Direct is where I purchased mine, and they are very helpful, and Teraflex here was equally as helpful on my lift, very knowledgable, and customer serivce is great. I am sure you will get a lot of advice for the knowledge base here too.... Somewhere here somone even setup a photo album showing different lifts and setups.

All good advice.

8-9" will work for nearly all 35's.

The 8" wide wheel will hold the bead better than a 9" or 10" wide wheel when you air down a 12.50 wide tire, and will also help protect the wheel.
