    OK so i will be ordering my 6inch lift kit and installing it by the latest of July.Most lift kits you cannot use stock wheels cause of the backspacing.But to tell ya the truth,i like the rims i have,and my 35's are already mounted on them.

    Question is,can i use wheels spacers to push them(my stock wheels) out abit so i can run my stock wheels?I will be going with the 6inch RCL.

    Thanks all.

    Yes you can but you run the risk of them breaking and your wheel falling off.

    Even though my rough country lift said it can't work with stock wheels it was no problem... they fit fine... I ran spacers just to get the wider track width and for looks. I don't recall if your wheels are lug- centric or hub- centric but make sure the spacers match... a quality spacer torqued correctly with thread locking compound should give you no problems as long as you're not hitting jumps lol ... hell some rock crawlers run em

    Ok good to know.Ya I to thot about thread lock compound.N of course they would be high quality spacers.Also good to know that your stock rims fit and that i may not need spacers.And no jumps,just off roading and mud pits,ya know the usual for me,lol.
