Suspension Lift
 
Hello, i have a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Ext Cab 4x4 and im looking to put a rouch country 3.5" suspension lift on it. on the website it says that the recommded tire size is 32x11.50 but i think thats kinda small no? i was wondering what size would fit and look good maybe 33's or 35's? i have stock 265/75/R17 on it right now, also it says you need 0.25" wheel spacers to run my factory wheels...whys that? thanks!

why for one tire rub as the bigger the tire the more it will rub
so i would go with what the website tells you unless you want front end problems about 100 miles down the road and alighnment problems as well
and tire rub leads to blowing tires out on the interstate or anywhere
thats just why
and as for the wheel spacers its so when you turn you wont rub you tires on the inner fender wells and what not i would listen to what the website says as they are almost correct on the sizes and lift sizes and what not as when they make stuff for vehical specifics they actually put them on a truck and test everything first
