May want to look into wheel spacers, wider axle, or see if you can get off set wheels.

Try flipping the wheels around. I think they come ofset by about an inch. Try it and see what happens.

I had this problem when I put 20x11x10 Shredders on mine. I ended up ripping the battery box off during a race. I made a new box and mounted it under the seat. Works great.

Thanks for the replys. Switching the rims will not work, there is a 2" off set on the outside. I was able to move the battery box about 1/2 in inward, that helped. 98 Lakota, How did you relocate the battery under the seat? What did you use to make the new box? No problem when jumping?

I made the box out of some 1" angle. There is a section in the very back of the frame that is the perfect size for the stock battery. I had to cut some of the plastic under the seat to clear the top of the battery and I also made a new brace for the rear brake caliper that is about 1 1/2" longer than stock to move the caliper back some.
