Got the new shoes on today but.....

Well I put the 22" rims I bought here from a forum member new and had new tires mounted today. Got them tucked up and....they rub. The rear is about 1/2" clearance and the front rub on bumps and a hard turn. I don't want to start hacking the wheel wells so my only other option is to raise the truck, which I posted on the suspension forum and doesn't look like it will be simple. Any suggestions would be great!!! Anyway, Just wanted to post a few pics. I got many compliments on the 22's!!!!

Before...




After

I had the same problem with my fronts so I put some CPP modular spindles on and it narrowed my track width a little over 2 inches.

Re: Got the new shoes on today but.....

2 years? Geez!! What the heck was he asking for it back then? I actually got it from a dealer in Missouri. Won't mention their name on here for certain reasons. But yes it had a Kansas Cruise In sticker from 2012 on the windshield. Great truck so far except for a small paint issue and these rims don't tuck right...

28000.00 ? Or something crazy. I remember that it had a blower on it when the previous owner had it.

Those wheels look much nicer, you shouldn't have a problem selling the 338's on craigslist.

Cool, send me the video. And yes I will actually try and sell those Ridler wheels here. They are brand new as well. Just didn't like them.

Looks like in this video the previous owner posted he had already taken the blower off.
