    Hi so I have a 2012 tacoma pre runner.
    I recently installed a 3'' rough country suspension lift
    afterwards i got some tires .31 m/t not only do they rub ( i took the flaps off and trimmed the plastic a little) but now my tpms light came on and the pressure in my tires are all good....whats the problem? is it because i changed from stock? anyways
    my tires still rub a little...
    any advice

    did you upgrade wheels with the tires and lift? If so the TPMS sensors may not have been switched over. is the air valve stem metal as opposed to rubber?

    I had a shop remove my tpms from stock to my new wheels/ tires. Never had a problem. Maybe they didn't swap yours out? Or are you still running stock wheels?

    That makes a lot of sense, i put new rims and new tires. I'm going back to the shop today to get different spacers. So while I'm there I'll have that checked.
    Also if i change the size in spacers will that minimize rubbing?

    I did my tire and wheels and didn't have any issues. I had the tech swap the TPMS sensors from my stock wheels to the Fuel's. if they are the cast stock to another cast aftermarket wheel (or steel to steel) they will work, but if you had stock steel wheels they will not fit in aftermarket cast wheels.
