2/4.5 (From what I have read) will fit the stock 20s / 33s with no issues. quite a few people run that setup.

Man i dont know why i cant just figure this out lol, i guess it's goin to have to be a trial and error thing. I have 305/45/22s, i really think its my wheel's offset causing them to stick out past the truck

the 22's you have now are about a smidge less than the factory 20's, so offset would be the only option. factory 20's are taller. Do you know what BS is on your 22's?

factory 20's are +19mm offset

BUT, the factory 20's are not as wide, 10.8 versus 12"

I think my back spacing is 5.75" but I'll have to check when I get back home... They hit my fender at the top and my inner fender well, my fender lip is bent up, here's how far they stick out

thats like a +5-+6mm BS...you'd need a negative offset to get them closer inside.
The stock rims push further out, but the tire is over an 1" less wide than the ones you have now...be good to trial and test some, OR, raise truck back up some up front :(

Well I finally figured it out, there are only a few wheels with the offset I need and of course they dont look all that awesome, but the offset I need is around a +30 or +35 and it will suck that wheel back up underneath... So I'm lookin at buying some 22s that way I can keep my brand new tires

Thanks Jim :D
