    I did the typical 3" lift with 33's and was having common rubbing issues...So I removed the front mud flaps which gave me enough clearance between the cab mount and tire but still had rubbing on front liner in reverse at full lock...Here's my quick fix with no trimming or cutting required...I removed the 2 screws underneath...Pushed the liner back and zip tied it to the frame...Test drive and no more issues :D

    Will do! I got a buddy who works at americas tire and my uncle who works at a auto garage trying to see where i can get a better deal! going with 17x9 0 off set 4.5 backspacing, that should be minimal trimming on a 3" OME lift right/

    It all depends. I just got 285's today, and I was one of the lucky ones. No rubbing at all, and no trimming. My setup is Light Racing UCA's, Bilstein 5100 in the front set at 0.85 lift, plus eibach 1.6" lift springs, plus a half inch top plate spacer. On the back I have bilstein 5100 and a toytec AAL. Wheels are 16x8 with 0 offset and 4.5 backspace. Hopefully you'll be luck too!

    I am doing new wheels myself and from what I understand a 17 x 9 with 4.5 BS has to be a 12mm offset. To do 0 offset you would need 17 x 8 wheels. You can check out the chart here - https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html
