As for the wheels, I'm not sure if they have enough backspace or not. The PO put them on. They're 22x9.5 U2 55S-A wheels with +13mm offset which is about 5.75" backspacing. The 2nd pic is looking up a bit at the fender, so you can see the tire is actually sitting on the inner fender, just inside the bolts. Likely not inset enough to air it out more than that. Does that answer your question?
Yeah,... it's probably not going to camber in enough to clear to go lower.
Plus that's a 29" tall tire.
The tires on my blazer are only 27" tall,... so I can get another 1" of drop before I set on the inner fenders.
Personally I like a 5.75" BS on a 8.5" wheel.
Thats just me.
