well even with the right bsp and 35s, with a stock suspension you aren't going to be able to do much but driver straight. Unless you are willing to fender chop

I think 5" of BS on 16" steel wheels is kind of hit and miss. I've seen some people say they just barely rubbed the brake caliper. Others had no problems. I just ordered some black rock 941's the other day, so I am going to take a chance and find out. They are back ordered for a few weeks, though, so I can't help you out now.
