looks like with that offset you should do a little stretch with a 225.. i would think that would solve it mostly at that height, but if not, trim the tabs and maybe a slight fender roll if you must..

Have you trimmed your bumper tabs? Thought about rolling your fenders?

What is the offset on the rims?
