Default rockcrawler wheels

i have a set of rockcrawler 15x10" wheels and didnt realize how much offset they had until they got here i put them on and just the rim sticks out from the side of my truck like 3 or 4 inches and im getting 14.5" wide tires i figure itll probably going to stick out like six inches maybe?
am i going to have severe scrubbing issues with these rims? i already know bout the joints im going to be going through but im concerned about the scrubbing i might have



please help

everynow and then meaning offroading? especially offroading when your hitting bone jaring rocks and the wheels are spinning fast to get through the mudd... expect wheel bearings to be in the yearly maintence budget

dunno bout the clearence..id be more worried bout the bearings... id have to actually see it tell ya if youll rub... .. usually them ore they stick out and away from the truck the least chance they will rub..but not in ALL cases
