What size wheel are you running and do you have any rubbing of suspension components?

I had a set of hellcat reps from whatever distributer discount tire uses. They had multiple issues. Think I’m gonna go mondos route and use factory reproductions wheels. My wheels were rubbing at full lock with 22 inch hellcats though. Curious if anyone else’s were and if so, did you leave them as is or go with spacers? My truck is a 2wd

Check them over really well when you get them. The ones i bought from OE Wheels had dirt specs under the powdercoat on every wheel. Plus the shipping fabric/foam that covers the face left rub marks the whole diameter of the wheel, every wheel. Oh, and the powdercoat seemed to be soft and not cured/mixed correct.

Looks sick man. Spoke with factory reproductions. Totally opposite experience I had speaking to a company rep than yours lol. Glad your wheels came out clean. You ran 305 up front as well?

I emailed the contact you provided but never heard anything back from him. Spoke with someone over the phone but didn’t catch his name. No worries though

That sucks. The email guy got back to me during the week. Their ebay personnel returned my messages over the weekend

I'm curious about this as well. I have 24" Hellcat reps with 305 wide tires on my 2wd with factory suspension but was about to get the belltech 2/4 kit. I don't have any rubbing at full lock but would I for some reason start rubbing if I lower it?

Can’t speak for 24s but had had the 22 inch hellcats on my truck with 285s and it rubbed at full lock and the truck is lowered with 2/4 Belltech. I was thinking of going with 20” hellcats this time And see if they rub. How often am I at full lock? Not a lot, but i would still prefer it not rub

What size tire are you running? And are those 24s 9" wide? My 305 45 22 Generals measure 33" according to their website. Its the same height of my stock 20s. I also have the mcgaughys spindle drop on the front which ive read pushes wheel out 3/8" iirc. Not sure if thats the reason i dont rub or not.

I believe the wheels were 22x10 that I was running. I think the 20s are 9 inch wide. Don’t know if that will make a difference since they’re still 25 offset.
