Yeah, on a 10 inch wide wheel, you would need 6 inches of bs. A 10 inch wide wheel with 6 inches of bs and a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of bs would both stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels. By comparison, a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of bs will stick out 3.5 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels. I'm just guessing these are the specs on your current wheels from how far they stick out of the wheelwells.

ugacoop... I think its coming down to the backspacing. Im sure your wheels are whats allwoing you to run such large tires. BTW: you have a REAL nice truck there! I really like it. You have the Pro-Comp stage II lift? Ya need to get some more pics up.

Hey bone, its def your 10 inch wide wheel and the backspacing. I have 18x10 with a 5" bs and I was rubbing when I would turn into the drive way or when I was backing up. When I say rubbing it would rub, my parents could hear me pulling into the driveway, rubbing to the point where the oem flares started coming loose. After I put the bilstein 5100's on, no more rubbing. Those pictures look like how mine was, same lift.
