Exclamation 28" inch rims too big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I just upgraded from some 25" giovanna rims to some 28's. They ride smooth & look amazing! BUT when I make a turn they scrub the truck a lot because they are so huge. Anyway I can fix this?

How bad do yours scrub? Its like i can barely turn the corner? Someone told me i can get them to stick out on the sides a little so i can clear a turn better?

If you get spacers it will change the backspacing on the rim bringing them out of the wheel well, hence stopping some of the rub.

Mostly when I'm turning a 45° or a little less....it's not too bad, just the NOISE bugs me if my stereo isn't CRANKED!!!

You can get them on ebay, do a search for "8x6.5 wheel spacer". Here is a link for a set of two 2" spacers for $129, just remember you will need two sets. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wheel...QQcmdZViewItem
