How to take off rear tire and rim - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, not what it seems.

Take for example the attached picture (not my truck). When the rear tire/rim is so close to the fender and the fender comes down over both of them, what is the secret to getting the tire/rim off? The suspension usually does not have enough travel (no bags) to drop the suspension down far enough. Unhook the shocks?

I am contemplating getting wider rims which would put the tire 1/2 away from the fender.

What do u guys do?
