Is there any one out there who by chance runs rear spacers with their lift and 35's. Reason being is that the Walker Evens street wheels, 17"x 8.5", I would like to install will end up 1.5" more outboard then a stock 16" rim. I can see this possibly helping in the front, eliminating the need for the 1" spacer that seems to be needed in order to keep the tire off the suspension, not sure if the extra .5" would become an issue, but in the rear, I'm not sure if this would place the tire/wheel assembly to far into the rear fender. But, if someone out there is in fact using 1" spacers in the rear, for whatever reason without issue, then question answered, except for that extra .5" again. The Toyo tire that would be used is a 285-75/17 with a 34.1" dia. and a 11.6" width, if that helps. Anyone?
 
1.25" in the rear works with a 315 GY MTR.
 
Seems like the Walker Evans 72 series comes in better backspacing choices. Not sure what the differences are between 72 and 32 series.

Anyway, I like idea of running the Toyo 285/75-17 (34.1") size. Given the right offset, it should be able to clear the upper control arm and tuck inside the front fenders. 4.88's and 34's should provide great gearing with a 4 speed tranny.
