Hey I have a 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4x4, 2 door.
I have a 6" RC lift on it, and I'm about to get 35/13.5/r15 tires, I'm just making sure that 15" rims will fit and won't cause problems, if anyone knows about that. Will it hit the calipers or knuckles?
The other thing is the backspacing on the rims, how much should I go with to not have it rub like crazy?
Thanks,
Jay

is your 6" lift a full drop or knuckle kit? basically did your lift kit come with new spindles, or did you use factory spindles?

what are the specs of the rims? width, offset, backspacing, etc.

The kit used the factory spindles.
The rims I'm looking at are 15x10 Pro Comps with 2.5 in. backspacing. I can also get the same wheel with almost any backspacing I want.

Okay thanks! What backspace and offset would be good for that? I'm not quite sure what's too much or too little. Doesn't the wheel need to be farther out to clear the brakes and whatnot, but not so far to rub like crazy?
