Tell the guy that sold you all that stuff that you want the right size tires. You'd think that people that work in those places would know better.... guess not

Yeah, tell the jerkoff that sold you those that you want the correct offset wheels. X2 on he should know how to fit wheels properly... Those wheels stick out too far and are going to murder your balljoints in record time. Spacets arent going to help, only make it worse. And you shouldnt have to sawzall your truck cause the wheelshop didnt fit you properly...
