Get a flat piece of 1/4 X 1" X24" long mild steel at Home Depot or wherever. Drill two holes of the end so it bolts onto your lugs. At the far end drill a hole 3/8". in this hole put a 12" piece of all thread with a washer and nut on each side. You can adjust the all thread in or out to see exactly how much clearance you have going towards the inside (offset) or outside towards the inner bedside. poor boys way to buy wheels/tires once. Attach the bar on top of the drums and rotate around adjusting it as you go to maintain about 1 inch clearance. Check both sides cause they will probably not be the same. See what works on your truck.
