With a 5.5 in Superlift is it possible to run 35x16.50's? What backspacing would I need for them not to rub my sway bar off?

Also How much difference does the superrunner steering and radius arms have on handleing?
 






do you mean 35x12.50x16.5 that sounds a little wide but that could be me.
 






No, 35x16.50x15
 






Not gonna happen - not without major trim work.

I have a 5.5" lift, 3" BL and 35x12.50 15" tires and had to trim to keep from rubbing. Rick runs 35x15.50 on his, but he has a D44 front and custom fenders that allow for the clearance. I wouldn't reccomend such a heavy tire on the D35 - you won't like how it reacts to everything - your front end will hate you for a long time!
