Here they are?my new Boss 315 22? rims warped in 305/45/22 General Grabber UHP.?

Because I have a 2/3 drop I have rubbing problems in the front and just a little in the rear.

--Front issues: I had to remove the front fenders for now.? I need to do a little trimming before I can put them back on.? When I turn the wheels I get considerable rubbing on the front and back of the tire well.? I?ll need to trim or heat it up and bend it out of the way.

--Rear issues: Only slight rubbing on the front and back walls.? I think it was about an inch or the well cover that rubbed and after driving it tonight I think that it?s taken care of itself.

All-in-all I?m please with the look and the ride comfort is great.? Handling I suspect will be just as good as the 305/40/22?s I was running in Germany.? You rally can?t beat this tire for the price.? If you don?t believe me, just do a comparison on tirerack.com against the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 and the Grabbers.? You?ll be surprised.

:laugh: sorry...I forgot how to shorten it and I did feel like taking the time to look it up >:D
 
Loggie,

Nice...

You'll love the handling and the quite ride. I have the 295/50-20's on mine. They cost me about $130.00 each and worth alot more... can't imagine a better tire at double that!

Very nice Loggie!!  I now want those or something similar in a 20" wheel!  One of these days........
 
wow.  those really fill up the wheel well.  great choice on the size.  I used the BMFH to get rid of some of the rubbing.
