inner wheel wells?

Is there any other options other than removing them altogether or buying custom ones? What can be done to modify them instead. This is to handle larger diameter rims and tires.

Thanks,

RIZ

I have a McGaupheys 4.5 /6 lowering kit still in the boxes and plan on buying 20" Boss 338s......not sure if any inner wheel well mods are needed or not, I'm just thinking ahead.

I don't see why you couldn't, but I think then you're only a little better than not having them at all. Doesn't a sponsor here make some designed to clear big rims?

you'd be pretty close.. how big of a tire?
