I got this bug deflector long time ago. I think it was something like 100 CAD.
StrmRdr23, I was trying 18x8.5 +35. The rim cleared the strut, but as soon as I installed the tire, it jammed on the strut. Then I tried 18x8.5 +25 (CEC type 129 rim). I had about 1/8-3/16 clearance at the tire, but the rim was scratched and I didn't take it. I'm pretty sure 20x9 +37 won't fit our trucks. I don't know about 20x8.5 +31 but if that shop has already done it, than I believe that's the way to go.
