[quote quote=13891]My rims are 7″ inches wide whereas yours are 6″wide. The 8.43 section width is based on a 6.5 inch rim.For every 1/2 inch you add 2/10ths.That makes my section width 8.63.Anyone have issues with the inner part of the rim rubbing on the suspension?[/quote]

Correct, and an extra 0.2″ of section width means all of 1/10″ wider on each side. I have waaaay more than 1/10″ of clearance to my fender lips.
