    So i recently got a set of 265/70/17 duratrac's mounted on some Ion rims, I thought they were gonna fit no problem but it seems im having some rubbing issues on the passenger side mud flap
    Anyone else had this issue?

    What backspacing do those ION wheels have? That sucks...I want to get some. Hopefully my 2.5" lift will fix that.

    I think the backspacing is 4.5? not 100% sure though. It looks like its just a little trim to take care of it

    My 265/75/16 Duratracs rubbed a bit on my front mud flaps. Easy fix...take them off! Looks better without the fronts IMO anyways.

    I'm running 265/70/17 (originals were 265/65/17 Dunlops) and have no rubbing issues on stock rims with 3" lift.

    Same problem here. My rims got 4.5 bs and i was still rubbing on the mudflaps. Easy solution tho, take 'em off! Or lift it, that should help too.

    I have 265/70-17 REVO's on my truck, and even before my lift they didn't rub...not even close. Must be the 4.5 backspacing that's making the difference. Must be time for some 5100's :)

    I wonder if the .85 setting would be enough or even the 1.5 should level it out without doing anything to the ass end
