That said; they are in a class by themselves in the 16 x 8" size, of which no other brand wheel can match, period.
The reason they fit so perfectly, with several rubbing issues, is purely because you used a non-stock, aftermarket, 16 x 8" wheel. That is truly the "secret". The use of aftermarket wheels will somewhat increase the threat of rubbing issues, which can easily be cured.
When I was shopping for wheels these were in my top two choices I lost countless hours of sleep in trying to come to a final decision, but these wheels are simply incredible.
In the end, I finally selected the Nitto Mud Grapplers & as much lift as I thought the CV's could handle, cause I wanted it to look badA$s...like it might go out at night by itself & eat the tires off Camaros...
Like you, the tire technician's asked me over-n-over for permission to mount the tires, so I said: "hey whatever makes you happy."
Well; to their amazement, they fit bolt-on perfect using the aftermarket Centerline 20 x 8" wheels with OME 919's & 1" spacers, with about 14 cranks on the T-bars.
It didn't EVEN clear the famous "bolt" in the back of the front wheel-well, so I did a bit of cutting, & massaged it gently with the two pounder...
Only very major trimming on the front cladding portion was all that was required, and they totally "fill-up" the huge fenderwell gaps with pure tire...did I mention...THEY LOOK MEAN AZ HELL?...
However, I realize that this is only MY taste in wheels & tires, & would not believe for a minute, that anyone thinks that I truly have set the standard for the rest of youse to emulate...
I am confident there will be many, many VX'ers out there following my lead,(or NOT) for those searching for a 33/12.50x20" tire.
Again, the Nitto Mud Grappler in 33/12.50x20" is the pinnacle of OFFROAD tires in that specific size catagory, with absolutely no competitor matching its specifications data....
I HAVE SPOKEN!...
