yeah i read from another guy with the square 10.5 te's that steering felt a little heavier. But as for the exposed lip, it looks sick! stick with the tire setup you have now

is it possible to run a 20x10.5 -23 in the rear? doing so would get me a 6 inch lip which would be badass

2nd day with the new wheels and i already messed them up. On the hw just going 20 miles theres about 15 bridges with crazy dips/cracks etc. My tires are so stretched that when i go over the bridge (crack), my lip would hit the concrete. FUUUUU, can this be easily fixed? I guess theres no way to avoid this other than going wider tires

Heres a shot of the damage

Some other shots

Man that is strange. I'm stretched on 11" on 245/35 which is more stretched then yours. And I don't have that prob.

You are prob hitting your fenders, how stiff is your front suspension?

as you can see on the last pic i posted, the front passenger tire is deflated. I just checked it and it was at 10psi, thats the same wheel that i damaged. The crack/dip was pretty bad.

and no it wasnt the guy that mounted them, i cleaned the rims before heading out and they were perfect.
