Bad bad tires!!! Ruining my bag job....suggestions?

[Grocery Getter]

Hey y'all..... my buddy is bagging my rear end right now and it seems my 305/45/22's are too wide to clear the fender by 1/8-1/4'' so I can't even get it any lower after the install. Clearly I can switch to a thinner tire maybe a 275 or 265 but I don't need new tires and don't really have the scrilla for them right now.

Any one have any suggestions on how to magically get my wheels to sit in about a half inch more so the fender will clear and I can get low...low...low....low.....

I don' think there is a way but I thought I'd ask anyway.....it's gonna drive me crazy having the set up and not being able to drop it down.......

not really worth it for the little amount u need but u could shorten the axle. again prob not worth it but thats a idea.

Yeah, I thought of that but will still cost a bit of scrilla'..... I will need to do it down the road anyway if I am gonna get it down on the boards but it would run at least $300 to do it..... definitely an option though.....good lookin' out.

No prob, I think mine is 2.5" on each side.

Only other thing would be to get diff wheels that tucked a little better. But thats more than tires. so im sure that idea is out.

Yeah....new wheels are out for sure.... it looks like it's the cunty panhard causing all the problems...........

My boy is just gonna get everything done and see where we are at, he may be able to **** with the panhard and get it to pull to the driver's side a bit but at the end of the day I will just have to get new tires...... some 265 or 275's will do the trick no problem......

I'm not trying to tuck, just get want to be able to roll with the truck level and the rear at the fender, problem is it has to clear the fender so I don't cut the tire all to shit when I hit bumps-n-shit.....

Faaaaaack.......should have just left it alone and got my ship painted....

Rear fenders you can roll with a heatgun and the tool.

Front fenders uhm...not so much unless you use a cutting wheel to them and weld the sheet metal back in to ensure they and things bolted down in the engine bay are supported.

Oh how I wish....... we cut the lip instead of rolling and it still needs about 1/4" or so, gonna see where it's at when it's all said and done and see if we can't adjust the panhard

Good lookin out though Boss....
