Wheel spacers might remedy this problem...

Would they exchange them for another set with a different offset? That would bring the rims out towards the side and away from the truck.

I would try the exchange idea first, but most places won't take wheels back once a tire's been mounted. But if they were mistaken about the fit, maybe they'll take them back.

Cobra- Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of Spidertrax, if you look in my gallery you'll see a Samurai that's built for rockcrawling that uses more than a few of their products, but they don't make anything remotely big enough for a Super Duty.

If you choose to go the spacer route, I'd recommend calling Arrowcraft (www.arrowcraft.com)

Thanks guys...Called them and they said they would send me spacers to try and if it still does not work they would take them back.
