Wheel not fitting

Hey guys so I got some Mickey Thompson 2 classics, and the front wheels won't go on....they hit the caliper, what will I need to make these work for me, I got them mounted an balanced from 4 wheel parts, so I can't return them...I been thinking bout selling them, but if I can make them work it would be nice, any help will be appreciated

I would say you have some incompatible wheels. If it were me I would sell them and get a different set. Probably not what you wanted to hear but probably the only way around the problem.

How about some wheel spacers?
is the rim too small or not enough backspace?

pics and it helps to know what year the truck is/ IFS and SA makes a difference. I know that the wagon wheels on my truck won't clear after I put on V6 IFS calipers and FJ vented rotors on my 81

Sounds like wheel spacers will help.

Are they 15's or 16's I have 16's on mine with a pretty hefty back spacing on them and they fit great. I'd try spacing them out. just make sure the spacer is approved for a lug centric wheel.
