I made the wheel openings bigger because the 9R-22.5 tires are almost 39" in diameter. I tried to match the wheel opening on the front of the truck. When I put the tire in the opening for mock up, it looked too small so I cut and moved the opening up and out with the tire in place until it looked correct.
