So I'm going to buy a lift kit and I was just curious of it pushes the tires out horizontally, like if I were to add wheel spacers? I don't want them all far out and ugly maybe just an inch or two will the kit do that?

 

No thats where the backspacing and offset of the wheel come in a lift kit won't change that.

 

You did NOT mention what this was for. Looking at your profile this is for an excurison?

Regardless the lift kit has no bearing whatsoever on the placement of the tire outward or inward. That has to do with your back spacing. Numerically lower backspacing will put your wheel further out i.e. a 3" back spaced wheel will sit further toward the outside away from the components than a 5" backspaced wheel.

How your tires and wheels sit now will be the same with lift installed unless you change your backspacing with different wheels.

Here is the other thing..if you are going to a lift then what usually follows is a set of bigger and wider tires. If you go significantly wider tires then the stock oem wheels will not be a good match for those wider tires anyways so now you are back to square one...which is needing the proper width rim for tire width.

Good luck
