on another note, if you wanna put 16's on there...you will need to shave calipers down. someone i know with an 03 put 16" rims on back for purpose of mounting slicks...and he had to shave like an 1/8 inch off of the calipers.

I had factory 20s and factory 17s fit on mine.

As far as fitting with the lift ... I don't know. I was actually tryingto figure out if factory 17s with work with the CST spindle lifts but I can't seem to get a solid number on what the backspacing is on a factory 17.

I also went from 20s to 17s, no issues.

With a 6" lift you could go 37s, so 35s will fit without an issue. You could actually fit 35s with a leveling kit.

Other than the 2wd part you are talking about my truck. No problems here, look at my album if you want to see it.

Did not notice you had a 2wd, I withdraw my comments, do not know enough about them.
