I went dumpster diving this evening..... Here is the back story.. I got my new wheels and tires mounted on my truck yesterday. When I was about to leave I noticed that one of my wheels looked wider than the other. Which lead to my dumpster diving today. I measured the width of all my wheels from the fender outwards to see how much tire was actually sticking out. And sure enough 1 of them is about a 1/2" off. So I went to Discount and looked in the dumpster for the boxes that my wheels came in. Only found 1 so I cannot prove that there is a problem. Can anyone tell me if manufactures stamp the specs of the wheel anywhere.
Well discount said all my wheels have the correct backspacing. And even rotated the tires. Same results.
Anyone got an idea what might be the cause

Sounds like an offset issue or wheel width issue. If you've got time take measurements from the spokes to the back of the rim on all and also measure from edge to edge of each rim. That'd tell you if they are the same or not. Can you post some pictures?

[MENTION=134497]marrs1721[/MENTION] What does it look like? Any pictures?
[MENTION=151769]USCG-Retired[/MENTION] That look really nice. Was it hard installing the bedrug on the tailgate with the pole? Did you have to take the pole off to install it?
[MENTION=153049]Benwatheone[/MENTION] Your truck is good looking. What did you use to clean up the engine compartment?

Thanks ComQuest. I'm happy with new look. More upgrades are coming soon. I am upgrading the side mirrors to the ones with turn signals in them, new HID headlights and LED taillights (maybe blacked out). And next year she will probably get a new paint job. I also bought a Volkswagen style key and key fob in one (switchblade style)... Got it in the mail yesterday. Kinda cool. Lol

The Bed Rug has a zipper at the base of the tailgate so you could take the gate off if you chose.
I tucked the end under the plastic plate and secured it with the original screws. Then, put the pole back.

I miss my truck. Dropped it off at the service dept thursday due to a noise while braking. Called today and they are still waiting for parts. Told me they needed to resurface the rotors, (Truck only has 800 miles!) and replace the front hub assembly. Will probably have my truck back sometime next week.
