I got a 98 silverado that I am planning on laying out on 22s. Its laid out on the stock 15s right now but will a 22x9.0 with 5.5 inches of backspacing tuck? Also, do u have to raise or get tubular A-arms to lay out without cambering in real bad? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

o ok i was told by someone that the stock wheels would rud the lower control arm with a 2" drop spindle.

Oh ya. I forgot about that. When I bought my truck it was already dropped 4/6 and on the lower arm the outer edges were cut off for clearance about half way back. I totally forgot about that.
