GEN 2 Rubbing on 37s w/ RPG 1.5 collars. Tips on cutting fender flares

What size and Offset are the Fuel Wheels?

Fuel Crush 2piece wheels: 22x10, -13offset

And for the record.. i have no problem modifying vehicles (been doing it for over 20 years now).. so I WILL be making these fit.
My questions were just around research so i know as much as possible before tearing things apart.

The price we pay for modifying vehicles in ways they were not intended, is that we need to often be creative and diligent in solving problems. You want the custom look, you need the custom work!

I'll post pics when i'm done...

if you bought shoes too wide for your feet and blisters formed, would you cut off your big toe.?.

This was pretty funny... I will admit... BUT.. if your expensive pair of shoes were custom.. and you wanted them to work.. there are LITERALLY shops/people that exist that are dedicated to fixing / modifying shoes.

Same with vehicle modifications.... And if you have comfort level and skill to do it yourself.. even better ;-)

Pics to come....

Oh...Wow... 22x10 with -13 offset!

The outside of your wheel will be 66mm or about 2-9/16" further out than the stock wheel. I would bet you would rub with 35s with that wheel. Good luck trying to get that to fit.

Just get your favorite saw-saw and go to town.

Got one side done'ish today... the "minor trimming" that the wheel/tire company told me i would need to fit this set up was drastically understated... HOWEVER.. after about 2 hours, I am happy to say I have one side all sorted.

There is a LOT of plastic (and a little bit of metal) behind the wheel well where it rubbed.. was actually fairly easy to modify.. but I like to take my time and do it right.. Tomorrow to finish off that side, i'm going to use a little bit of fiberglass filler to fill in some of the plastic ribs (don't want snow and stuff accumulating on / in it once the weather hits.), and give it a smooth finish like the existing wheel well cover. I'm then going to put a good coat of PQR as extra protection and to make it look a bit more like it were stock'ish.

That said.. the setup will def. work, but the modifications for this are not exactly for the feint of heart on brand a new ride lol

So these are a bit sporadic.. as you can tell.. was raining out.. so i was just trying to get it done.. but when i do the other side, I will take step by step pics.

Other than the side view w/ the 37" tire on it.. the other pics are with stock wheels (obviously can't leave the 37's on till both sides are done.

As mentioned before, there is just a bunch of primarily plastic behind the wheel well cover that needs ground down to fit the tire at full turn. If full turn was like 10% less... far less would need removed.
