Some 22" wheels require a spacer when they are installed on a V6...

No, no spacers needed. My wheel and tire guy has been running the same wheels on his truck for over a year without any problems (with same tire size (295 30 ZR 22)) so I knew this setup would be problem free for me

Thanks for the info.
As said, some aftermarket wheels can't be installed on the V6 without a 5mm spacer due to the wider front calipers.
Great to hear the OZ wheels doesn't need those.

I really didn't think there would be much of a difference with the size of the calipers, if anything I thought they would be smaller???
