    Hey guys, i really need some help !
    I just got my New wheels and tires. and Murphys law ! they rub on the front left bumper. The biggest rub is the little plastic piece that hangs about 3 inches below the bumber. can i just trim the plastic piece ? my tires are 32" with a readylift spacer kit.
    Thanks

    And maybe use "passenger side" & "drivers side", instead of "left"...

    Yup-Trim away. Just take it slow so you don't hack off too much or make a cut thru a part you don't want to.

    Snip it off. you don't need it. Careful tho, once you start cutting your hooked. Soon you'll be looking for something else to nibble off.

    Just trim a little bit at a time. And then be sure to cut the wheel all the way to both sides while slowly driving, also do the same in reverse cause I found out that even though they didnt rub while turning sharply going forward, they did slightly rub when turning the wheel in reverse.
