Default tuckin 20's please help

Anybody know what i need to do.I already have a drop but was wondering how to get the rims to clear the fender wells.I was thinking that the lip needs to be rolled up.Anyone have this problem.

What drop do you have? What size rims and what backspacing do they have? If you don't have the right backspacing your rims won't tuck at all.

With a 3/4 you shouldn't have to tuck at all with those rims and tires. I know a guy who has an 04 rcsb with a 3/5 running that size tire on 20X10's.

know I'm saying that i want to drop it lower then it is now, but it just doesn't look likt the rims will clear the fender lips.If the wheels had any more back space they would look like front wheel drive rims. There has got to be a way cause i see it all the time.So maybe the only way is a narrowed rear.Just don't know.

I tuck my 20s no problem. I have a 9.5" rim in the rear and they tuck fine, I just had to roll the lip of the rear fenders and it fits fine

It really depends on your backspacing. It sounds like you don't have enough room to play with, so you either need to

a) roll/trim the inner fender lip
b) get different rims
c) narrow the rear end

There's not a lot of choices unfortunatley.
