Upper Control Arm Tire Clearance

[John89]

Can't wait to see pictures. It's hard to find wheels that look good on a white truck. I have been looking for awhile now.

Yeah man, I know what you’re saying. I got tired of going through hundreds of pages on customs wheel offset. Honestly I wasn’t even sure how these were gonna look… Im not totally in love with the look but they look decent!

Just want to add that after installing them, I do have some rub when doing full lock turns… Gonna have to do some trimming unfortunately. I did not have this issue with the stock wheels since they had a positive offset. These are -18mm.

You might be able to avoid trimming if its rubbing on the plastic liner. Well placed zip tie or two might do the trick.

It’s actually rubbing on the little mudflap on the inside corner. I can tell by the markings on it.

Looks great!

My tires rubbed on the inside section of the mud guards too. I pulled the little flap off and bent the metal tab up and back, then heated the flap with a heat gun and formed it to fit the new contours so I could retain all the plastic. I also have the husky flaps that bolt over the OEM ones. I heated that up and formed it too. Now it all fits without contact.

I need to do this to my Husky mud guards. I have slight rub with 35x12.50s at about 3/4 turn. Just a small area on the flap where it sticks it a little

With heat, I was able to push it all back plenty to clear the tire.
I had to slot the hole in the small flap with a file for the plastic retainer pin after relocating the metal tab.

Thanks man. Would you be able to send me a pic if possible when you have a chance?

You mean remove the flap, and underneath that there’s a metal tab you can bend upwards and towards the rear? Just wanna make sure I’m following.

They look good! The machined chrome in wheel goes well with your chrome trim and bumpers. Well done sir.

Thank you! Yeah, I tried my best with these. Kind of wish I had the body color bumpers, definitely would’ve opened me up to a greater selection of wheels. The chrome bumpers IMO do resist scratches and highway rocks/pebbles a lot more so that’s a plus! Overall I’m happy with the look

I got the amp research power steps from morris4x4 at a good price with promo code warmup100:

Plus $200 shipping makes it a little more. At Morris 4x4 they gave me a $75 rebate on a visa gift card, so that’s why I went with them vs bam. Thanks for looking out though!

Pretty close to a wash. It's nice having the ability to retract/deploy them through UConnect. Plus the display in the EVIC. No worries.

Not sure. That's up to you. You would have to activate the running boards with AlfaOBD.

Ended up returning the amp research ones and going to my dealership. They had a coupon for 15% (max $200) which lowered it to $1540 with taxes!
