Tire rubbing help

hey i just put on some 285/65/18 on my taco and i trimmed a lot of the front part of the front wheel wheels but it still rubs in the back when i turn. it hits the outside part of the wheel well nearest the door so any trimming there is very visible. what are your suggestions?

 

What size lift and what are the width/offset of your wheels? That tires size is what I'm getting next once my 275/65/18 wears out in the next few mos. I have no issues with mine and don't foresee any since that size is not really that much larger.

 

i have 5100 billys set at 2.75running on 285/65/18 no offset?... ur gonna have to cut out a lot from the front but idk if i want to cut the back part of the front. it only rubs a little bit on sharp turns maybe i can just grind it down a half inch.

I have 285/70/17's that comes out to be about a 33" tire. I also have a revtek 3" lift. I had to trim about an inch off the front corner of the, umm I think its the flare or bumper and about a inch off the rear lip. I trimmed it right up to the fasteners. I was worried it was going to look "chopped/hacked up ... but it actually looks very good....almost factory looking. I also trimmed back the splash gaurd/inner fender that came in contact with the tire at full turn. That was even easier, the plastic in this area is so thin, regular scissors did the job.

I no longer have any rubbing.

 

I left out that I had to take off the front mudflaps.

 

2.5" on the billys right?

And when you say "no offset", you mean 0 offset? We need to know the width of the rim to see if 0 offset is ideal for your setup.

 

its a -11mm offset

 

why is everyone having to trim to run 285/70/17's....all i currently have is a levelin kit with 285/70's on 17x9's and i have all the room in the world..absolutely NO RUBBING!!

 

Not all 285s are created equal, there are different sizes, and just because they dont rub on yours while you are on the road, I dont know if you wheel or not, when flexed the 285s eat the fender and lining.

 

My wheels are -6mm offset 17x9's and no after market wheel flares installed. I had no choice but to trim a little.

 

wheelin or not i dont rub at all.....am i jumping terraces no..am i wheelin in the mud, hell yeah, cuz you cant tear up a yota...I HAVE TRIED!!!

 

my wheels are 17x9 XD's with -12mm offset

 

x2. i had to trim a little off of the inside of the back of the fenderwells when i put on my 275/70/18s but now the only place that it occasionally hits is the body mount. and i have had my tires SLAMMED into the wells.
to the op- do you have wheel spacers? mine rubbed worse before i put my spacers on.

 

i dont have any spacers and mine never rub....i even went out this morning and looked at the fender well...no rub anywhere!!!

 

so i just trimmed a little off the back inside lining of the front fenders no rubbing on the street anymore we'll test again in the mud!

 

Looks like it is time to get a lift. Lift that biotch son!
