I had to "drill out" the rear mounting holes. Do a search, this question has been asked no less than 500 times.

ya make sure u "rock" the fender forward or it will rub slightly on the backside of your fender, and it could bubble your paint...

at High Speeds it may hit in the Back so open up the rear holes a little and lift the rear of the fender

Alot depends on the rubber you be running,most that run a 21 incher need to rotate the fender slightly as described above.Tape a 3/8th width nut around wheel at tires highest point,give it a spin.Mine touched only slightly yet elongated fender until no rub was heard.Like others have said some tires grow as speed/temps increase,why waste a good paint job?

Thanks for all the help fellas. I thought for sure it would have been here today. Everytime I saw the brown truck... I knew it was gonna be for me. How much did the dealer charge you for the install crp5?
