Anybody running the 3.5" RC Lift with something other than a 0 offset wheel?

    Is anybody running the Rough Country 3.5 in lift with something other than a 0 offset wheel. I would like to install this kit, but 0 offset is too much poke for my liking. Is it possible to use a +12 or +18 offset wheel with that lift kit? . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    What size wheel and tire? Or are you just worried about clearance on upper control arm? I'm running method 18x9 +18 with 35x12.50r18 nittos on the rc 3.5 with no issues.

    That's is good to here man.. Thank you so much for your help. That's great news. That's the exact wheel and tire setup I have been wanting to get on my 22' SR5 4X4. I was stoked when RC just released their 3.5" lift that's compatible with rear air load leveling, but when I called RC to order, they told me that I had to use a 20" wheel with a 0 offset. I don't like 20" wheels and 0 offset is too much poke for my liking. Tgta didn't sound right to me, so I thought the first person might have been mistaken, but I called up there multiple times and was told the same thing 3 different times by 3 different people. I think this is the only setuo they tried out their lift kit in so I guess it's in their computer to tell customers to use this setup since they know it works.

    Do you have any rub at all? At full lock? Will I need to pin back fabric?

    I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on 3.5 rc lift and some 18x9 +18 with some 35x12.5R18. Thanks again brother.

    There's a metal box behind the fender liner against the cab on each side that just unbolts. That's the only place I had any sort of rub. Removed those and zip tied the liners back using those same holes.
    Before I did the lift, the 35's would rub the top arch of the fender flares on the front as well when getting rowdy through dips.That problem went away with lift and can now more or less bottom out the suspension and not touch anything.
    You should be good with a similar setup. I've been meaning to get some new pics. Picking up the truck from getting exhaust this morning and then I can post a couple pictures in this thread for ya.

    Any chance you can send me a pic of what you removed? Is it the safety bracket that prevents the wheel from coming inside the cob in case of a wreck?

    I've heard it referenced that way before. And I'm not an engineer. But how this small box held on with 2 fairly small bolts, prevents something the size of a wheel and tire from going through multiple layers of steel and aluminum I don't know. Maybe deflect it under truck? It is called a floor reinforcement bracket on toyotas site.
