Make a right hand turn through a curb cut. I think with a scrub radius like that the tire will meet fender.

Oh, I'm sure it can be done. A couple inches shorter tire would help too. I have seen a couple around here running dub-deuces or Jordans

yeah im sure it would help i like a wide look on a truck that just seemed to be to wide for my likeing and for the size of the truck .... espicaly wouldnt like it during huntn season drive through a puddle of water and your truck would be wrapped up with the tires out like that
