sometimes when i tire shops say that a certain wheel you want "wont fit" its because they dont have that wheel but do have a wheel that you didnt even mention that they would like to unload on you. there are tons of wheels that are out there that
 






not that at all they look in there book and it says that rim wont fit and that they wont sell it to me
 












they just said in the book they wont fit said they would rub. even the ones i posted link for if i put in my vehicle it says they wont fit
 






Ok i found out what fits I put 1.5 spacers on now I can show the tire shop the rims I want will fit
 






Most tire shops won't work on your truck if you rub wheel spacers.

I dont let them anyway I just buy my rims and tires from a local guy than I take home and mount and balance
 






I went with 1.5 inch spacers with stock wheels and 2557016 tires it gives me 3 inch backspace have no rubbing in fender wells ill worry about rims later when i find 3 inch back space ones
