What size lift do I need to fit 33" x 11.5" tires with 2" hubcentric wheel spacers? Truck is a 1975 K10 Silverado. I don't want to put too much lift on and make it look dumb with my new 33's.

What size rims are you running? Backspacing? It varies a little bit truck by truck, but the normal guide is: 33's: 2" for street, 4" for offroad.

I'm running 35x12.5 on 15x10's with about 4" of backspacing with only a 4" lift. I have a little bit of rub when hitting dips while turning.

Here's my truck at stock height in the front (2-3 added leaves in rear with an extra 3/4" block). These are 32x11.5R15 Yokohama Geolander AT/S.

This is how high it sat in the rear due to the blocks and add a leaves.

And then with a 4" lift and a set of 35 BFG KO2's:

Don't do spacers... NO NO no. Proper backspacing is key.
