the first thing i did when i got my truck was purchased a 3" ready lift level for a more aggressive look. Just recently i decided i need to get some off-road tires that are extremely agrressive with wheels. I bought 35.x12r20 nitto mud grapplers and 20x10 moto metal 951 chrome. I just put them on last weekend and they fit in the wheel wells good. My problem is they rub when im at 3/4 of a wheel turn on the bottem back part of front fendor. Where they rub is that bottem back corner on the edge where my fendors tuck under and are conected to the metal part where my running boards are bolted on. The little rub i get is on that corner where i cant trim as easy becouse of the metal........
Now i have to make a decision, I just spent a pretty penny on these wheels and tires and need to figure something out to give me a little extra clearance so they wont rub. PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS THAT WONT COST ME ALOT OF MONEY.
I was looking at doing something like getting the 3" skyjacker suspension and putting my ready lift level on top. ALso maybe consider 3" body lift if i have to

That was the point, a little research could have saved the poor guy a lot of grief and a chunk of change in the long run. Maybe you can afford to take a sawzall to a $30K-$40K truck because you bought a tire/rim package based on looks instead of fit, for most of us it's not an option.

Its funny because most of you guys would be able to afford a truck similar if you didn't invest so much of your time complaining on the forums.
just asking for advice not critics, if i wanted to here complaining i would have went on a dodge forum and posted it

I bought the tires for versatility and the rims because I liked the sleek design so technically it wasn't a wheel/tire package but I know where your coming from, but that's the risk of any aftermarket purchase with all the possibilities.
