ttt:

Do you mean rear wheel housings (#9) on the bed or the splash shields (#10)on the bottom behind the tires?

I've heard of some removing the rear wheel housing or tubs to make room for fatter tires but haven't heard of removing the splash shields for that reason.

Yep its #10 I just got the truck and the owner was not around.So maybe I need to take the rear tire off to see if they fit with both on.

What's the diameter of your rear tires? I wouldn't think the splash aprons would be a problem.
