Angry Truck dont fit now

I had just gotten my tires today 305 75 16 master craft courser's.
I wanted good years but the price was out of range this time around
good year tires were 1250.00 M/T mount an balance
master craft M/T 850.00 mount balance and alignmet after i get my new trac bar ( in a week and half from thuran)
So anyway when i got home had the truck in the drive way and when i came out to put into the garage it looked like it wont fit. With my old tires it JUST made it. Now I found out I am 1 1/2 in higher and those DAMN CLEARANCE lights hit. It looks like the the dodge is going to sit outside till I cut the opening of the garage bigger and add another panel to the door so it fits.
what really sucks is that i want to put on my hughes plentum plat on sunday and it is going to rain ( looks like that will wait)

yes but see you guys dont get it the garage is connected to the house and I am going to take my time with this plenum and mod it also. plus alittle cleaning action and wax on the firewall since I will be able to get to it better while it is apart.
I cant pull into the shop behind the house because I am redoing a bass boat and have it split apart so that cant move
Oh and no way will i push this thing in and out till I'm done.

Let air out of the tires and go in. Just air them up when you get done and get it back out.
