01 IRS Suspesion

I've done a bit of reading about fitting 10.5 wheels in the back and I've read different things. Some say all you need is the low profile irs bolts and they were fine and no rubbing. Some say you will need a 1/2 inch wheel spacers in the rear to make it work plus the low profile bolts.

Has anyone on this site with 10.5 in the rear with the irs run into this problem? if so any input would be great. I'm wanting to run chrome 10.5 fr500's with probably a 295 or 315 tire. Thanks for the help

I'm gonna bump this...

My brother is wanting to put my 17X10.5's on his, but we want to know what we have to do to make them work

not sure if the irs on the 01 is ant different from the irs on the Termie's but a friend of mine put dd's on his termie and he had to shave the heads on the irs bolts down to keep them from rubbing. i know some vendors carry bolts made specifically for this...
