    I have an 04 Tacoma with a 3in Suspension lift with 33x12.5x17 I rub really bad when I turn and I was wondering how can I fix that, I really miss the freedom off being able to turn all the way I believe my rims have a +12 offset if that helps, would wheel spacers help?

    Cut the plastic on the inner fender and pound the shit out of the pinch weld there. I did that and still rub a little

    Rubbing on the upper control arm? I'd get some spacers then

    I guess that's what its called I could get pictures but what size do you recommend, do you think spacers will fix it so when I turn I will be back to normal?

    3/4" hubcentric Bora spacers, you don't want to go too far out or it will rub in a different spot, also, if you have it realigned and get the caster to 2.5, the rubbing will disappear or be minimized to barely rubbing and you won't have to hammer the krap out of the pinch weld...

    setting the caster to 2.5 or more sets the wheel forward a bit more in the fender well and solves most, if not all of your rubbing problems....

    i was rubbing with my 265/70/R17s (31.6") even after I got a small lift on my truck. Got some spidertrax 1.25" spaces in the front and fixed my problem.

    "how much would that run me about>?"

    a good shop that knows what they are doing, and depending whether you get a lifetime alignment or a one time alignment, probably a low of $50 and upwards $80 plus...

    the Bora 3/4" spacers are about $218 including shipping ($47.50 each plus shipping and maybe tax)....you could save and get only two spacers for the front, but it will look a bit weird compared to the rears....

    i thought it would look weird only having them in the front also, but it actually doesn't. Since its an IFS set up, it just made the front look normal after my lift (which was probably about 2.5" or so).

    12.5" is a bit wide to use without use of spacers and/or less backspacing and 1" body lift. Trimming the wheel well is not an option for most people, but clear out that pinch weld area real good.
