Hi Mark,
I have late model Chevy 4 wheel drive 6 lug white spoke 16 inch wheels
on my truck, with LT235-85-R-16's on them. They look good, and haul a
lot more weight than my old 15's did. I did have to let out the bolt
that acts as a steering stop on the driver's side a tiny bit to stop
them from rubbing on the steering arm (is that the same as your idler
arm?) but it still turns fine. If yours aren't rubbing too hard, maybe
that fix would work for you. I'm not using any spacers.

"I'm still unsuccessful in my attempt to get rid of my 17.5 tires and
wheels. My latest attempt was with a new ford 16x6 wheel and a
215-85-16. My info from this list says this should work, however, The
wheel hits the idler arm on the drivers side. Plenty of (well, enough)
room on the right side. The tire guy doesn't think a 1/4 spacer would
help. Why is this not working?
