Hah, not a fan of dubs.

And I really like these factory wheels.
Ii'll just deal with the rubbing.

Later down the road I might put on some blacl steel mags style. The old school style.

If you are going to keep the stock wheels you can adjust the wheel stops on the front diff, look for a bolt with a nut doing nothing sticking out from the bottom part of the outer knuckle. You will lose some turning radius.

Yea i can agree with Merc.. you can just adjust that bolt and it "should" keep your tires from scrubbing. I wouldnt bother with the coil spacers cause thats not going to help you clear anything but taller tires, they will still rub cause you are using the stock rims. Best bet just adjust the wheel stops. Lose some turn radius but will keep tires from scrubbing. Then you will be free and clear to run your 315's untill you decide to change out your wheels. When you change your wheels just get a different backspacing on them and then you can return your steering stops back to the normal and shouldnt have any scrub.

Believe me I don't need any coil spacers, I've got the height of the truck under control.

Thanks for the opinions guys, I'll be keeping the monster truck tires. They do look great.
