33's and 15x10s and non lift = no workie.

So I am running 33x12.5s on the FX4 Alcoa..

and i thought hell lets get some nice 15x10s so went to discount tire found a nice set of black bead locks for 325 for the set cause someone ordered and backed out.

Got the front on and it rubbed HARDCORE.. but i have no rub with the alcoas.. uh why?

Back spacing and width is the reasoning for it.

yeah 15x10's with 33's stock isnt a good thing.

i rubbed a bit when i first got my 33's and i was stock. it looked like this
