I've got a 02 Silvy dropped 4/6 (DJM). Just got some 20x8.5 American Racing Torq-Thrust ST's (grey center) mounted day 'fore yesterday. I'm running a 275/45-20 Goodyear GTII.

My rear tires are catching the lip on the inside of the fender a little. Is there anyway I can roll the lip or something? My fronts rub at full lock, but I can deal with that. Part of my problem is the damn thing bounces soooo much with that DJM drop, almost like the springs are too soft.

Also, how do I post pictures? I'd love for you guys to tell me what you think.

Thanks!

 

I had the same issue with my bagged truck when I put on my B. Coddington 20's with the same tire you have. What I did was use an air cutoff wheel to trim that lip back that the tires hit, then just used an air grinder to smooth it out a bit and hit it with a little paint to keep it from rusting. If you are completely lost, I can take a pic of it so you can see where i cut.

 

you need smaller tires for a 4 6 drop. you need like 255 35 20s . whats yor backspacing to. im ruinning 20x8.5 and i didnt have to roll anything. my backspacing is 4 3/4

 

I'm dropped 7/9, he can run those tires if he trims. The 275/45/20 is same O.D. as the stock wheels which is why he is trying to use them, also, they are about the cheapest 20" tires on the market.

 

Yeah cheap is good! That is one reason I'm using them, plus I had a set of 285/60-16 Goodyear GTII's and I liked them, so I'm trying their 20 in. tire.

Thanks Low, I understand where your saying to cut, I'll try that ASAP. Was kinda hoping I didn't need to cut, maybe just roll, the lip but I'll do it!

Thanks. Oh, BTW badass truck, low.

 

My back spacing is 5 3/4 not 4. You can run275 45 20 ive seen it done but all the trucks that have run have eventually rubbed through there inner fender wells.

 

Dude, the front isn't bad. I was just concerned about the rear. That lip on the inside of the fender on the bed was cutting the **** outta my sidewalls. Its taken care of now, thanks Low.

 

Really? huh im surprised truck looks good though

 

No prob, its a cheap easy solution and you dont have to worry about your paint cracking by trying to roll the fender lip.
