tire rub

just got some new 285/15/16 pro comp mt tires on my trk and i had some rubbing while backing up and turning . they were rubbing on the little mud flap on the frnt of the frnt tire . my question is i removed the little flaps should i trim them a couple inches and put back on or just leave them off .not sure if there is some kind of performance hit thx

 

u cn cut ur mud flaps n be fne wit them lik that

 

Just pull off the air dams. Two 10mm bolts per side and you're done. If it still rubs you can trim/ remove the mud flaps. If the rubbing persists, a CMC could be in your future. It all depends.

 

I'm assuming you mean 285/75/16? I just put the same size tire on and yeah that little front mud flap catches when turning in reverse but no where else.

 

I just took mine off and do not plan on putting them back on

 

Just the front ones? Like in front of the tire?

 

Off

 

yes, took those little like 4-5 inch mudflaps off the front and am leaving them off. In reverse at full lock it would rub

I also removed all the normal mud flaps (behind the wheel) a year ago

 

I'm doing that now. That's the only place it rubbed.

 

i will leave them off and 285/75/16 was right thx all

 

What are the little front mud flaps for?
