Driver side front tire on. Not a lot of clearance. An inch in front and an inch in back. 4 inch on top.

For one thing, the outer nuts won't fit the studs. Logic says if you're not running an outer wheel you don't need an outer nut. An if it were me, I'd flip that rear wheel around to give a wider stance.

Hey, those 22.5s look really nice! I must have missed it in a previous post, where did you find those wheels?

I have only seen wheels with 2 "hand-holes"! Is someone finally making them with more?

I have 9.00-20s on mine. The front tires barely fit!

No. Still looking for 6.75x22.5 rims. Stu has a nice set of 6 rims in here but they are 6.00. With the 6.75. I only have about an inch clearance . If I put the 6.00 on, I’m afraid my clearance will go down to about zero. For now, I took the back dualists off and out o. Front so as soon as I get doors and hood on, I can take her for a ride .

WOOHOO!

You'll love the way it drives! I drove mine a little with the 9.00-20's after I put the new brakes on it. Drove pretty good..... although I think the check-valve was a little sticky in the MC. the brakes would lock once in a while at a stop sign.
