Just got these 22s. What do you recommend is the easiest way to lift it? Would cups work? The main issues I see are the wheels hit the front of the fender when I turn the wheel. And the back wheels are pretty close to the front of the fender.






e-lo
un screw the trim from the fender grind the fender a little or get some twist in knuckles and u should be straight if you dont have them u could get air shocks in the rear also

I put in air shocks and the twist in kunckles in the front but they still catch the frame when I turn. Any ideas?

Sorry bout that, I typed it wrong. It catches the front of the body of the car....the front of the fender so I took off the chrome wheel well trim but it's still hittin' it. They clear the frame fine.

u gonna have to roll ur fenders or get another spacer in your spring

I got it ridin right. I put a 245/30/22 tire on em and shaved the fender a tad. It doesn't rub at all anymore. I can do U-turns n everything. The only issue now is leaky spokes lol. It's always something.... I was looking into getting some different rims. What off set do I need? Because I tried some today but they sat really deep in the wheel well. I dont really wanna do the spacer/adapter thing but if that's what you have to do then that's cool.



These are the rims I tried.

if they sunk in that means they fwd wheels..like if you put rwd wheels on a fwd car they like rollerskates
