Might be some clearance issues around the brake caliper, and/or the tie rod..... they only have 3.75 backspacing, and are 10 inches wide though.... so, my guess is, you are going to get some rubbing on turns at the front and back of the wheel opening...... Don't know if you can go to more backspacing to alleviate some of that.......

Spacers will only make the problem worse, not better.

done a little reserach, seems no one has a problem with clearance issues until the late 2nd gens 99+ cause of the upgraded calipers, a lot of people seem to run 15s since the tires are way cheap. will see what happens

Set of 4 sore thumbs never hurt anyone, right?

Bad idea

I think you will have issues fitting 35's on a stock 1500(no lift) if that's what you have(no info). I think 33's are the limit on stock lift.
