5.5" is on the 20x8 Fronts

You are the expert here so I'm all ears!
No bags .. Just want the tires inside the STEPSIDE...
305/45/22's Not going to be real low... You thinking 6? If so will the tires still be inside the well?

Looking to get as much tire as I can between the leaf and the fender well.. And Im all ears!!

Thanks for any help!

The wheels are in! The look pretty good and are light as hell. Way lighter than the Eagle 16x10's I am using currently. I have to drill them for the tubes and screws and then get the tires on.

So far so good!

You want pics of them rims nekkid or do you want to see em mounted.....

I can snap a few photos of them with no tires pretty easy but I gotta few irons in the fire so it's gonna be a few days before I can get them completely done.
