Yes there were but I've read their newest products for these trucks corrected the issue. The old fixes were to either turn down the snout of the brake rotor hub or add a specer under the center-cap of the wheel. I did the spacer & you couldn't tell it was there unless you looked too see if there was one (I'm that anal).

As for the link you provided on the wheels, what bolt pattern will you be using? I ask this because my initial review of their listing indicates no 20x8.5 in a 5x5 pattern (stock 72 pattern). I also can see they don't offer anything close to the proper back-space requirements for a 72 in the 20x10's (6.225 is too much). That much spacing will require about a 1" billet adapter (which adds to the cost of the wheels....).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
