Lift + new tires + new wheels
Kind of a newb at all of this. I've been doing a little research and would like to get some advice before the plunge.
I want a lift for my 90 Bronco. I can get a 4" lift at Les Schwab for 1200 out the door which includes the alignment, I'd like a 6" lift but they don't have them available. They tell me that 35" tires (which is the size I want) will work with just a 4" lift with some rub obviously. I would like the least amount of rub possible. I would be o.k. with a small body lift, but I don't want to be able to see through the truck. They also tell me that I may need rear wheels all the way around.
A new lift means new tires and new wheels... I'm not sure if 12.50 tires are wide enough aesthetically, but I'm told that's the widest you can go for a 15x10 inch wheel. Also, will any 5 on 5.5 wheel work for a Bronco?
Thanks in advance guys...

Firstly, you can put just about any tire on the right dia wheel. I have had 36x14 tires on 7.5" wide wheels, it was a donut though. The offset/backspace will make a difference in the wheels, playing around with offset could create or solve some light rubbing issues.
Lastly, I put 31x13.5 on my 89 F150 with out a lift (and on 8" wide tires.) Theortically, you could fit 38s" with a 4" lift, but your 35s should clear nicely.
