No doubt, I will try to get to it next week. Truck is a project right now, needs paint bad, but I plan on getting it as soon as everything comes together (a month or so). When the truck is done I will post final pics, because this will be a unique whip :P

I put the bare rims on and did some measurements. The back should fit with no problem. I did some measurements on the front with a bare rim mounted, and I have some hesitation. Tires may scrub on the front of the wheel well & frame when the wheel is turned in (front being closest to the headlight). The only way I can be certain is to get one mounted and try it out. This is not a good weekend to go to tire shop cuz of 4th of July traffic. So maybe Tuesday or Wednesday I can complete the test.

I got the tire mounted and tried it out, it looked as sweet as I thought it would, however, when you turned the wheel, it was scrub city. I'm going back to the drawing board. Gonna try some 265/40/22 on some 9.5" wide rims with a +10mm offset. Should do the trick. Gotta clear some room in the garage first! Any thoughts?

Well I got the correct fit and everything done up (Finally) I got 3 coats of black sprayed, and 3 coats of clear. Wet sanded 3 times with 3 different grit (Cost $3,000). I also got %15 window tint on the front two windows and a strip across the back. Got the black headlights and tail lights. 22" ADR Deejay wheels that 9.5" wide and +40mm offset. The tires are Falken's. They are 285/40/22. The only rubbing I get is if I turn the wheel to as far as it will go and the tire will scrub. Other than that, everything is great. Take a look at the pictures:
