How will my K5/truck look with xx" tires on xx" of lift?

Very minimal
I ran 37's and a 4" lift. Had to barely cut to clear on full flex.
So did I. Even fit 38’s. However if a “no cutting” person comes along then even 33’s can rub with 4” of lift.

I had 37's on mine w/ just 2" lift. Of course the rust took care of any clearance issues.
It's all about the wheel width and offset.
So if I wanted to run 36x14.50, would you go 10" wide or 12" wide? Is 4" lift enough? What offset would you run?
Definitely 10" if you want a chance to clear wit 4" lift
Narrow wheels with offset close to a factory wheel (4.5"ish maybe?).
4" backspace or 4.5" backspace?
42s on a 6 inch. 16.5 wheel with 7. 25" bs dually axles.
37s on a 4 inch. 37x12.50r17 on 17x9 4.5" bs
4 inch and 44 boggers.
Crew cab has 4" 35x12.50r16 on 16x8 4.5
Nice k5 pic is 6" and 35x12.5r15 15x10 3.5 bs and it rubbed a little. You can see on the fender where its pulled up.

Those 37s on a 4" almost look perfect, how much did they rub? How much did you trim? The 6" on the last, white, nice K5 just has too much gap than what I am wanting, so i guess I need to stick to a 4" lift. I also like the crew cab stance too.
If I go to 35s, 36s or 37s, will i need to upgrade gears? And if so, will I need to upgrade axles too?
Little off the front and a little off the rear. Just smoothed it out on the corners couldn't really tell it was cut

I rub with 10" lift and 37s. You'l always have to trim up a bit especially if you actually wheel it. Gears and axles really depend on how you wheel. Me personally- I think I have a rock bouncing submarine after a few beers so I went tons

Humvee 37x12.5"s at stock height and alot of trimming both front/rear. Some of my previous trucks.
33x12.5"s stock height with some trimming for clearance at full flex.
32x I think 10.5" (Been a long time). Stock height, no trimming needed for offroad.
