Title: Will 22's fit?
Post by: bgarr01 on January 17, 2013, 01:07:20 pm

Hey guys Ive ordered a 4.5/6 mcgaughy's lowering kit that will be in soon.  What I am wanting to know is am I gonna be able to put 22x9.5 boss 338s on there without much modification.  It seems like Ive seen people say that Id have to remove the inner fenders up front.  Any pros or cons to this?  Also will I believe they only come in 1 backspacing.  Will I need wheel spacers to make it look right?  Thanks in advance.

Depends on what size tire you are looking at.  9.5" is going to be wide on the front of these, I am running Impala SS with 5.25" BS, if the tire is going to be over ~28 + it will rub on bumps.

Sorry forgot to mention that ill probably be running 265/35/22s.  Im thinking those are around 29 inches tall.

Those may be narrow enough not to hit, but major bumps/dips may cause contact.
