These are 20x9 with the polished finish. I bought them for my daily driver, so I got 20s. Had I known they would end up on this truck, I would get 22s

That wheel, brake and color combination looks sick.
as for the rubbing I would try a five or 10 mm spacer on the wheel. it should clear and make the wheel and tire fitment look a little better on the outside of the fender

I may put some washers in there to see how it fits and if it indeed works to clear the LCA, then order an appropriate spacer off those measurements. Thanks for the idea

I welded in some stops on my ridetech arms... it worked out great. I made them out of 3/8 plate and welded them to the back of the arm behind the ball joint.. Truck looks awesome btw! Any plans for the rear suspension?

rear will be flip kit, c notch and eventually a shock relocation kit so they're both vertical behind the axle

It's not really shown, but I reversed the lower hose orientation so the long straight leg was at the radiator. That allowed me to put it in that perfect spot. Went to a junkyard and grabbed some oem clamps for a clean look

Finally got the truck down on 4 tires for the first time in months. I was worried it wouldn't get low enough with the springs I had, but it's at 14.25" hub to fender and actually tucking tire. I need to raise it up, but this was just a temporary bolt in of them to make sure they would work.
I also need to figure out why my heim tie rod ends are so far out of range. Is there a difference between lengths of the inner tie rods between rack and pinion and recirculating ball steerings? I had these made for my torsion bar truck and they worked great, but these barely catch a few threads when adjusting the toe out. You can see how much toe in is in the picture, that's where the tie rod ends feel safe to me with thread engagement. Anything further and I feel like its a death trap...
