    *Cracks knuckles* Where do I begin?
    Hey guys so I've got a little bit of an issue here.
    My 33s are rubbing. I'll start out by giving you the specs of my wheels and tires to refer to.


    My wheels are American Outlaw Buckshot.

    16 X8 5-135.00 -6 BKMTXX

    Rim Diameter = 16

    Wheel Width = 8

    Bolt Pattern = 5-135.0

    Offset = -6

    Hub Bore Size = 87

    My tires are Pathfinder Sport S AT

    LT285 /75 R16 126R E1 OWL

    My lift overall is 3 inches with the following:

    Icon stage 1 shocks and coils

    Toytec progressive 2 inch AAL with factor overload removed

    Light racing UCAs


    Now for the photos, as you will see my tire on the driver's side is not rubbing against the fender, it's rubbing against the frame of the car I believe. My go to mechanic guy said that the rubbing would go away with just wearing down the tread of my tires.... I agree because as you see the rubbing is very slight on one side of the truck and only when I go in reverse on the driver side.

    My other tires barely clear as shown in the following photos:
    IMG_5059.jpg

    Do you guys have any tips or suggestions on what to do? You guys think this is a safe set up? I'm already running 1.25 inch spidertraxx wheel spacers.

    Would you elaborate on that? I'm not real familiar with the different ways of fixing tire rubbing.

    No I have not tried it without spacers.

    That area your tire is rubbing is the cab mount. You can cut that back (most people do to fit 285/70+ tire sizes) to alleviate the rub. Then you would weld on a plate to fill the hole and repaint.

    So do a chop and I should be good to go as far as wheel travel in all directions?

    No one asked for your condescending opinion.

    Should solve your problems for the most part, might identify other rubbing spots later on
