Yes , you need to do some modifications to stop then tires from rubbing, but you need to explain better. Are they bottoming out, front or rear, on turns, over bumps etc....

1. SHOULDNT HAVE PUT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN 20" ON IT.
2. THEY MAKE A 245-30-22 TIRE
3. THEY MAKE 22X8.5 WHEELS...IF ANY WIDER RUBBING HAPPENS.
4. CUT THE PARTS OF THE WHEEL WELL OUT OR REMOVE THE WHOLE LINER.

What kind of ride do you get with 22s? Do you have to check your speed?
