I bought new tires for my 20"s but tires are to big.
Hello Dodge Forum Readers,
I have a 2000 4x4 dodge durango. I used to have tires size 275 45 20's but after having a bad alignment my tires worn out, so I bought new tires 285 50 20's. I really like these tires cause it fills the space/gap between the tire and the top fender. The problem I'm having is my tire is rubbing on the lower wraparound bumper by 1/2 or 3/4 inch. My question, should I cut the lower bumper without make it look to ghetto or can I adjust the bumper to move forward. Has anyone ever experience a similiar problem like this.
Thanks
Joe.

Welcome to the boards!
You could do both. Of course moving the bumper forward might look getto as well. You can always lift the truck a little with a tortion crank especially if the front end is nose down anyway. Just enough to straighten it out and that would lift the front end enough to clear the tires.
I'd first try to see it sits nose down then level it. Then if you need more pull the bumper out with some shims.
