the wheels and tires were on the truck when i got it. the front tires rub the frame and brake line when its turned sharp, thats why i got the spacers. they are 16 inch wheels and there is no back spacing ,they are not even centered. not sure what its called but the lugs r pretty much flush with the face of the tires.

You need to get different rims, with correct backspacing, and get rid of the wheel spacers. Probably go a long way toward fixing your rubbing issues as well.

Measure from the mounting face, to the outside of the bead on the rim. (the part that holds the tire in place.)

What size rims are they?
