Default Help, 22's rubbing...

I've got a a 18 RCSB that's lowered 3/5.5. I have swapped wheels from some kmc district 704's to some Shelby super snake wheels. Tire size is 305/45/22 Toyo ST iii's. I'm sure the offset is different and that's accounting for the rubbing. I have the Belltech lowering kit so is it possible to raise the front slightly to fix this issue? I know the lowering kit is supposed to be adjustable. If I did that and didn't change the back will it look funny?

Thoughts??

You're carrying a lot of weight around with that Seminoles tag. Perhaps Mckenzie Milton will lighten the load!!!

Bada bing!!!!

P.S. I have nothing useful to add. I'm not a fan of lowered trucks, but that looks pretty clean.

HA! Yeah it been a few bad years for sure but I'm gonna still support, Go Noles! I'll add, not a fan of this graduate transfer stuff. He was great at UCF but what is he gonna do for the long term? Nothing.......

I just had those same wheels installed on my truck yesterday, 2018 XLT super crew.
I have the BellTech 2/4 drop kit and with the 305/40-22 they fitted they rubbed on the back side of the front fender liner.
They looked fantastic but were a no go so we changed to a 285/45-22 and no rubbing.
I went from a 20 x 8.5 wheel with a 30mm offset to this one 22 x 9.5 with a 12mm offset.

I would go down in tire size before I changed the suspension. If you raised the front, you’d have that squatted look. Typically 305/45’s are a tire you’d see more on 2/4 drops.

I run the Maxtrac 3/5 with lowering struts in the front and I'm running 285/45/22 with no rubbing at all. My rear is a little lower than I would like and I'm adding IHC Helper bags.

Wouldn't even consider the stupid looking dog taking a **** squat lots of kids run with their trucks these days. If it can't be level then I wouldn't do it. I'll figure something out, appreciate all the responses!

I think there are two different sizes of the wheels, cant remember what the difference is. But new tire new new wheel.
