Default The truck got a new pair of shoes!

So i needed new tires badly and wanted to step up to 37s so i finally bit the bullet and got them but i had to do rockstars too lol... the tires are the new super swamper M16s and the are nice so far and make no road noise. they only have 5 inch backspacing on the rims so now i just ordered wheel spacers because they rub the shocks real bad and after i recover from the hit i just took in my bank account a body lift is coming soon... what do you guys think?
The pictures are too big to fit in here so i have to post a link.

Nice rims and tires! The black rims look good with the silver paint.

Tires and wheels look killer, I like!


But, how in the heck are you getting the tires to rub on the shocks? Do you mean control arms?

yes that is a whip back there lol... and i do mean the shocks well just the front shock because i have dual shocks up front with the big shock hoop so they are close to the tire and now that i went with 13.50 wide they rub so i just ordered 1.5" wheel spacers and also the dont stick out at all from the fender flares and i want them to.
