Hey Rick, what is your offset on the wheels? I have 345/25/20 but they do not stick out that much. Do you have more room on the inside?

I don't know the offset... I will have to remove and check later.

Wow that sticks out waaaaay too far. It should never look that way...especially with flares.

Are you running spacers?

If so you need to back it off 3/4 - 1".

Here's an old thread I made to illustrate different spacer settings.

I am running hub centric spacers, just forgot which ones. I'm going to be watching it the next few days.
