Rubbing issue! Help!

Use your truck jack under your back seat. You may have to put something like a 2x4 under it to lift it higher due to the larger tire. That's what we did. Took 5-10 minutes.
I'd rather do it myself instead driving all the way to the dealer and waiting.

 

Thanks for your help, I am just nervous to drive it thinking I am going to mess something up.

 

Are the wheels hub centric? Wheels from a Toyota will work on a Chevy/GMC, but those wheels won't work on a Toyota. If the place where you purchased the wheels didn't sell you the correct wheels you will need to get adaptors, could be your problem.

 

I would at least take that one wheel off and inspect it then put it back on and see what you find. If it isn't seated to the hub, then it's a very easy fix.

 

I agree with Papa, if one of the adaptors aren't seated correctly it could cause the grinding. Although I would think that you would feel something in the steering.

 

Let us know what you find. It sure sounds EXACTLY like the same thing that happened to my son's truck. I was worried that we were gonna find something bad when we took off the wheel, but luckily it was an easy fix and no permanent damage. Basically just taking it off and putting it back on correctly, fixed it!

 

They may have accidentally thrown off your alignment. The wheel will move backwards in the wheel-well under braking, decreasing the distance between the back side of the front tire and the fender, resulting in rubbing when caster is low. Setting a higher caster will move the wheel further forward. This was an issue for me after my lift was installed and alignment was done to original specs.

 

OP Let's see the alignment specs if they are handy

 

Will be taking it this morning back to toyota to see about the alignment and what they can figure out

 

I dont how they could mess his alignment up by only putting tires and wheels on there, but i guess they size of tire can throw it off. I would have them check it out, cant hurt to check it right? Sounds more like something with the seating of the rim, unless you hd a lift done at the same time, if you had a lift done at the same time, could be the needle bearing grind.

 

No lift, just wheels and tires.

 

Love all these big tire mods people do. Guess for mall crawlers it cool. I'd rather have my suspension work and be able to stuff then have tires Jammed into my fenders when I ACTUALLY off road....

 

Thanks for your opinion but i wouldnt consider 265 70r17 a Huge tire mod.

 

Currently sitting at the toyota dealership while they try and figure it out...

 

OP comes for help this is what you come up with mkayy

 

Op did you get any answers?

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

Hell 265 70 R17 is basically stock shouldn't rub at all! and the calipers shouldn't be a problem unless your wheel is a 15in or under...
