If I am not mistaken wheels are measured from the inside not the outside of the lip. At least that is the case the with Intros that I have.

This helps me how???

Need the physical measurement.. Im trying to fit a wheel on a bagged OBS truck that hasnt been built or bolted on b4 along with adapters. so far i have been correct with offest and bolting up with spaces and clearing with a kp 4 link.

Couldnt you just measure the bed wheel wells,,lip to lip? that would give you the maximum width. Those wheels are wide man,dont know if they'll fit but they are nice. Hope it works out!

I tried, but couldnt get a very good measurement. My beds tipped upright, and i was the only one at the shop last night so i had troulbe taking measurements. Ill have to just set the bed back on the truck here and see if it physically will work. Its just that close.

Those look nice out back. I hope they fit for your bro. Im sure its gonna look wicked clean when your done if it does. Good luck

I should have bought Z06 or C5 wheels. They would have tucked for sure in the back. the ZR1 wheels have the widest wheel and the least backspace.
If the rears dont work, i might just order a pair just like the front 17x9.5....
Booo that.

Get someone to hold one end of the tape,and measure the bed. Lot less labor than tryin to set the bed over the wheels,,might even scratch em or bang the box up against them and you still have to set the box back where it was.. I hate lifting stuff if I dont have to.

HAha, i hear ya. What im gonna do is take the wheels off and set the bed back on and then bolt the wheels back up, as soon as i get back to the shop with a few buddies and throw the bed on. Thats going to be the only way.

Im excitied....its the moment of truth!! lets hope they work out for ya!!

That'll work. You can trim the fender lips if needed.Just leave about an 8th inch and file it. Remember you will have some sidewall stick out beyond the wheel lip. Good luck!

Well its gonna be another week b4 i get the bed back on, i still have to cut it for the notch, etc.
Im really overkilling on this wheel situation. Sorry.

Dont sweat it,,You can just measure and it will tell you if it will work or not.If its so close that you need to put the bed on to know for sure,,then it probably will rub.Im a big fan of the tape measure,,can you tell? hahaha!

As am I haha. And yes i can tell. But being it is that close you are probably correct, they wont fit. But im thinking in the back of my head, i really want the bed on to really find out for sure so i can move on and just order the same size wheels im running in the front. Till this happens im going to be on pins and needles. haha.
