YES you will need a pwm+ to clear 35"s depending on wheel width and/or offset. if you have a 10" wide wheel like the guy above with 0 offset you get 5.5" back AND front. go look at the wheel/tire and offsets threads and see for youselves there are LOTS of guys who have 6" lifts WITH coilovers who had to do the pwm and still rub full lock. IF you have wide wheels you're gonna rub bottom line. MOST guys who lift run wider wheels or negative offsets as they like the aggressive look of tires sticking out. so imo we're both right. no you don't NEED to do the PWM IF you have the right rims... IF you don't like that crappy selection of skinney or high backspace wheels you'll buy something that requires a pwm.. and if you get something that doesn't you may rub the frame or spindles... I rub the frame with my 35"s w/20x9 +18mm wheels with 35x12.5 toyo MTs NARROW wheels are the best bet. they're also the ugliest option of all... so I didn't bother elaborating my +18mm 9" wide wheels with 35x12.5s are ugly enough imo... tall and skinney and they don't stick out wortha crap. BUT I chose them to minimize rubbing and get harassed less by cops... I don't like the real wheels with the stretched boggers 20" wide sticking way the hell out look the toyota guys run. but I don't like them fully tucked either. these wheels I have now stick out 1.25" less than my old wheels and they definitely don't look as animal.. price I paid to run taller tires. I wanted more ground clearance so I did a little more lift and taller tires... thus this result of it looking
well long story short, to help you out hawaiian the reason why you have to do a pwm on a wider tire, but still the same height is cause the outer part of the fender is actually smaller than the inner finder, so thus providing rubbing with wider tires. you can run 35x12.50's all day long on 6" and no rub.
