33 X 12.5 rubbing. Need advice

No no you don't have to cut the flares. Just the wheel well. Ill post pics later. Or just search pinch weld mod

 

Yeah, the pinch weld mod will be a huge help.

You may still encounter some rubbing while flexing it offroad, but at least you'll be able to drive it properly and go around corners without hearing scraping.

 

Yea just the inside of the wheel well

 

Or

christ monte how hard is it to cut a clean straight line?

 

I used a pocket knife for the plastic and then a grinder to cut the metal to hammer it flat.

 

lol why did you use a pocket knife! sounds so hack job. do i actually need a grinder? or can i just hammer it down?

damit i want my boxes of goodies to show up ( i still have about a week to wait)

 

ha okay thanks guys...


Anyone use Goodyear Wranglers MT/R on their Tacoma.. I took it for a test drive on the street and it feels so bumpy and shakey. Im used to 265/75's street tires. It also feels like the wheel shakes a little as well.

 

You might have to air down a bit. Do the chalk test.


and Mark, you don't need a grinder i think, i just used it so it would fold over a bit better and trimmed a little off the bottom as well. And i used a knife cause...what else would you use?? and who cares how bad it looks, i don't see ppl sticking their heads in ppls wheel wells..

 

Hahahahaha ok so wait, let me get this straight, you had a grinder...to cut down the pinch weld, but you didn't have anything better to cut some fender trim with than a cake knife?

 

Gotta go with the Cut-Outs. I run 305/70/16s and have never had an issue. Plus, I can see out my windows and whatnot since I don't get a rooster tail down the side of my truck every time it rains, not to mention off-roading.

 

nothing else is necessary man.

 

I had to chop my fenders up a little bit in order to prevent my tires from rubbing offroad. I thought the pinch weld was enough but i learned otherwise when my door wouldnt open thats only a full lock and full stuff.

 

Yea just realize my fender was getting to the point of rubbing on the door when it opens..lol time to cut some more!
