Ifitaintbroke Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 That's entirely normal. The front wheels need space to turn so they don't hit the frame. But it looks dumb! I might try some spacers on the back just to make me feel better. I know it'll do nothing for the truck mechanically but it's just one of those things that gets on my nerves.

Ifitaintbroke Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Rims with about 4" more offset should take care of that.... Yes I was thinking of that. I'll have to measure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifitaintbroke Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Rims with about 4" more offset should take care of that.... Looks like I'll need 2". Done some research and apparently there is more to this than I thought. This truck is mainly going to be used for heavy duty towing, and I'm not convinced that even 2" spacers would be safe. Lots of chinesium junk out there, hard to find anything quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (personally) wouldn't want to see any spacers on a dedicated tow rig. I mean, form over function does not belong on the highway hauling heavy.

BigBrother-84 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Jacking deer, are we? 🤔 🤫 Nope. I don't even eat meat, so no one can accuse me of that. The only answer that avoid all doubts an ambiguity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
