    Hey guys, new member here and just got my first Tacoma!

    2014 Tacoma TRD Sport (Black)
    - 3 inch toytec lift
    - 275/55/R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers G2

    I've owned my truck for about a week and a half now and I absolutely love it! The only annoyance I have every now and then is my front 2 tires rubbing sometimes (not all the time). It only happens when I am turning the wheel sharply to the left and right that I'll hear a rubbing noise. Any help?

    I've attached a picture of my truck!

    Look in your fender well. There should be some plastic that looks like a tire rubbed it. Cut the plastic off where it's rubbing and you'll alleviate the issue. Congratulations on the new truck :thumbsup:

    unless it is rubbing on your UCA - in that case you would have to either go with spacers for your wheels or a wheel with a different offset/backspacing

    I'd say you need to find where it's rubbing.

    Strange, I'm running a bigger tire with only a 2" lift and haven't had any rubbing issues turning or mild off roading.

    All in the caster, 285's and rub the fender flares on the back bottoms under compression.

    Find out where it's rubbing and :sawzall:

    Cab mount, mud flaps, and fender liners are where you should start looking.
