The easiest way is to use a rim with a minimum amount of backspacing, like 3"-3.5". You will, however, have possible tire rub on the radius arms with a wider tire/rim combo. What size are you running now? JSM84

it a 33" tire and i also have a 3" lift. thats all i know, she is in the shop getting a new transmision. but the tires do rub some now. i want to pull the tires out more so they will stick outside the fender.

Thats hilarious, anyway, you can buy spacers that go between the rim and the rotor. You will need longer wheel studs, the wider you go the more stress you will put on the wheel bearings. You can buy wider rims, go with 10" wide or even 12" and another would be backspacing as previously mentioned. Not sure about where you live but up here you cant have any part of the tread sticking out past the fenders. You might want to check into that before you spend money on it.
