Yeah but with 14s and 33s and 3" spacers darren has to completely clear his tires like that to ever hope of having a chance of turning

I wouldn't go THAT wide.unless I sas. Lol like you said I'd prefer to be able to turn withour being hesitant. I rubbed when I had 20x 10 ions couldn't stand it.

You've all seen my 15x12s on my truck 3.5" backspacing, and it needs 2" spacers to completely clear nbs rear calipers with no grinding. Darren has 2" spacers on the front and rear of his for the 17" stock brakes on his '06, and said he still had to grind the caliper a tiny bit. 99-03 15" will fit over the front calipers just fine though
How does the front clear 15s but the back doesnt? I have to run a .25" spacer on an old set of 16s I had up front

I agree every truck doesn't need to be on 20"+ rims. If I could have gotten my hands on a set my 01 would have been 16.5x14 mountain crushers. Hell I still want to do a truck on a set 16.5x18s

It depends on the wheel and how it's made, but the 3.5" back spacing also helps too NBS with 16" wheels the front brakes will clear most 15" wheels, but the rear calipers are made a little taller and do not clear by about 1/4"

I'm supposed to get some 15 x14s with 2" backspacing so I should be close

2 hours of grinding and test fitting and this is the result. Love it

That looks great!
Thanks man I appreciate it. On a side note they need tires (and a good polishing but that'll be this weekend more than likely) what's the general opinion? Boggers or tsls? I'm leaning towards tsls bc I don't want to spend 1200 every 25k miles bc this is my dd right now

Both of those tires suck on the road, however boggers won't wear super fast on a light truck like yours, they are just rough riding. I have had iroks and boggers and hated them both. Get a good radial tire
