so i bought some 22s for my truck the other day. i put the bed on the truck and started letting air out of the back and guess what my rims stick out an inch past the side of my bed. so i went back to the shop i bought the wheels at they said they would exchange them however most of the wheel available would have the same problem. we did find that i could go with a set of boyds but they cost an extra $700 per wheel more than the rims i have and i like my look better. so the cheapest options would seem to be shortening my rear end or installing an independent rear suspension so that my wheels would camber.

Chop the stocker or find a shorter one.

rear camber looks stupid

Dude just trim where it rubs....

It can't possibly stick out farther than the bedside, can it??

My neighbor loves them too.

about $300 to chop my rear end 1.5 inches on both sides however wont it look funny if my wheels are sitting an inch and a half towards each other under my back wheel wells? i actually like the rear camber look

OH YES THEY CAN!!! if i completely cut away the inside lip under the sides of my bed the side of my bed would come down to the top edge of the wheel. that still leaves me the whole side wall of the wheel that inst clearing and no way am i flaring out my sport side bed sides. my wheels would fit if my truck went so low. we had the bed on but once i went down low enough my bed hit the wheels.
