    The charger wheels are 18s not 20s. they look wierd when the wheels are big and theyre not wide between 8 and 8.5 inches is better for a 20

    And toyo do the wheels rub anywhere? I was running 19x8s and they hit the strut rod

    With an ET +0 I only rub when the wheel is completely turned. Either way, I can't turn the wheel completely, my fender rubs.

    Crap. I meant to say how close are wheels in the rear to hitting the frame?

    Yeah, but running that big of wheel with that width you wouldn't be able to drop your truck. Maybe, depending on the offset...

    You could get a wider tire to make it appear wide. My rear tires don't look like they're on a 7.5" wide wheel. They filled the wheel well quite nicely.

    My buddy has 10" wide wheels on the rear. ET+0 with a 5mm spacer. He's got a 5mm clearance and had to shave down the leaf spring holder thingy.


    Jetas:
    I have about 1-2" or so of clearance. Fenders are rolled and pulled.

    I love the look of custom steelies. But where can you get a nice lip like on those pictures above? Im talking atleast 3" lip. That will obviously fit our trucks.

    I like the look of custom steelies, but I don't like the look of the stretched tire & wheels that stick 3 inches past the car, imho.

    I love the stretched VIP look. But agree with the vato look of the flared out wheels.

    i dig it........ to an extent.. but the only reason they can do that is because they camber their control arms so when they compress the tires compress at an angle in towards the fenders and dont rub........ or rub very little. our trucks are different since the rear axle moves straight up and down.... so they gotta tuck....
