    I have a 2000 tacoma and I put 18" rockstars with 33" nitto m/t's and the front two tires scrub my front control arm and also by my fender. What is the best way to solve this problem? I heard about wheel spacers but I don't think that will help the rubbing by my fender. Also will a leveling kit help both the scrubbings? What would y'all recommend I buy? Thanks

    Wheels spacers will help to prevent scrubbing the UCA. Now about the fender... good news and bad news. The good news- you don't have to buy anything. The bad news- time to take a big a$$ hammer to the pinch weld... it's hammer time!

    Are you stock hight?

    Wheel spacers won't help with the fender rub.. you will need to trim.

    Most people who run 33's do have some kind of lift.

    Any pictures?

    You'll still need to trim.
