My wheels are 18x9 with 4.5 BS. No rubbing at all whatsoever. The tires are 12.5" wide, also.

I still really wouldn't go past the 6" / 35s personally, though...
hey hammer, what components exactly are you talking about wearing out much faster than normal? are there any tricks, add-ons or stronger replacements you'd recommend to make these components last longer?

You know Xill, we had spoke before about that doing that 3'' spindle lift + 2'' coil lift and 2'' or 3'' block or shackle lift and I had told you that is what I did on mine. At the time I was running 305/40/22s which were still a 31.7'' OD. I finally got my rims last weekend and I love them. They are 24*10 with 325/45/24s measuring 36.1'' in OD. Later on after doing some more research on BLs and my Warn grill/winch setup, I may do a BL. IDK yet though.
