Tire rub...

Hello,

looking for some help. I have a 2018 TRD OR 4x4 with stock suspension. I just installed SCS F5 16x8 5.50" +0mm offsets. I also put on BFG KO2 LT 265/75/16, just one size wider than stock. I am getting some rub in the front when i fully turn the wheels. My friend has same truck and set up and had no issues so i followed his lead.

any advice?

thank you,
Steve

 

try to pull off your mudflaps.

 

@St.Germain thank you so much, will do that right now, was considering that anyways.

best,
Steve

 

take off the mudflaps probably wont rub anymore

 

@St.Germain and @fiftyxp it worked, thanks again for taking the time to help.

have a good sunday!
Steve

 

Do you know where you are rubbing? It may be your alignment, while you both may have a good alignment from a numbers perspective there could be significant differences with the specific adjustments of the cam bolts.

 

@JoeCOVA it was the mudflaps, took them off and no rubbing at all, plus the truck looks way better too. thanks for your help.

 

Your truck looks bada$$!!! Love the new wheels.

 

those are 1 inch taller than stock not wider

 

Maybe the BFG tires has a more square on the edge so it makes it look wider. Your truck looks really nice. Any pictures from the front or angle shots?

 

@gobie18 here are a couple shots...took off the back mud flaps, will post a nicer picture soon.

 

I personally like the mud guards on it, your paint will thank you in a few months. Plus I think you would be better off getting an alignment and if that doesn't work trim the mud guards. Just my opinion, your truck looks awesome.

 

I'm adding mud flaps to my truck for this reason.

 

I'm also looking for rims and tires without lifting, your truck looks perfect for what I want.

 

@gobie18 very happy with my set up! glad you like it, ill post a few more pictures later showing the tires and wheels at different angles.

 

Get some Rek Gen mudflaps. I don't think they'll rub and you will still be able to protect your paint.

 

Put them back on, it's very slight rubbing! Not worth the paint abuse.

 

Did you mean 4.5" BS? I am looking at the F5s as well for my Barcelona Red truck and don't believe I have ever seen them configured in a 5.5" BS. I assume you are stock height as well? Looks super good.

 

@Teke yes 4.5, sorry for the typo, thanks, its all stock height, been working out great.

 

I've got a buddy with the same color truck and wheels. Big fan!
