wandell, I was hoping you were on and would reply.

What would you do in this situation? I really love the wheels and tires I ordered...can I run a spacer of some sort, or am I better off just sending the wheels/tires back?

i have no clue why these tires and rims wont fit. ive got 20x10 with 4.75" bs, althought ur tires are 13.50 inches wide, though, that shouldnt really matter.

My only guess is the offset is not enough? There is absolutely nothing rubbing as far as the backspacing and the tires...it is just the calipers rubbing right against the hub of the wheel...sucks!

And man those damn things looked great on the truck too! There has got to be some high quality billet spacers or something I can get right?

ok, so looking at the wheels on 4wp, you went with the polished, tell 4wp that they dont fit and yada yada, send them back, pay the extra $200 and get the chrome ones wiht 4.75" bs. those should fit, since i have the same specs and theres absolutely no problems.

Everything is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know, I know this thread is worthless without pics!

But I worked a midnight shift last night and drive to KansasJoe's place in Olathe, Kansas to finish the wheel/tires install right after work this morning. Got home at 1130 and went right to bed. I planned on washing it and taking pics today but by the time I crawled my *** out of bed it was already getting dark...

I will take pics and get them on here ASAP. But man does she look good, I am like a proud papa!

Hope it was worth the wait...and don't tell me she is dirty...it is freakin 15 degrees outside today with a windchill around zero! I will clean her up and take better pictures when it warms up!

thanks guys, I am beyond happy!

And a big thanks to everyone who provided advice and information as I stalked these pages for two years before I finally decided on my choice of lift and wheels/tires.

Side Note: I haven't even driven it in 4WD yet...but my wife just stole it to get to work! It is icing and snowing here so it is nice to know she is in a rock solid truck to get her to work safe! That way I don't have to worry and can sit here and drink my coffee.
