Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

A 22x9.5 (with a 5.75" BS) is the same as a 8.5" wide wheel (with a 4.75" BS)
In my opinion,... this isn't enough backspace up front with a stock crossmember and stock width a-arms.
Most people run a 8.5" wide wheel up front with a 5.25" BS because that's all that is available.
(I like 5.5"-5.75" BS on my 8.5" wide front wheels)

22's can be made to work as long as you keep your overall tire height in check.
I doubt you can do this with the stock inner fenders installed.
