Tires rubbing on 3gen taco

Hi i got 285 65 18s tires on my 2017 tacoma offroad..with 3 inch lift..the front tires always rubbing when backing up or turning going foward keeps pulling flares off ..what can i do

 

What wheels are you running / did you get new UCAs / did you get an alignment / did you do a CMC?

 

I got 285 65 18 ..with 3inch lift ..the truck was at dealer like this ..they told me its suppose to be like that ..also broke my front mudflaps off..

 

I would go back to the dealer ASAP then.

 

Yeah i did they sent me to 4wheelparts ..the company that did lift and tires for them ..and they said its suppose to be like that ..

 

Who did the install? The dealer or someone from 4wheelsparts?

 

Lol it's supposed to rub? Buncha dummies. Figure out where it's rubbing and cut it off. It's going to be mostly plastic, and maybe the cab mount

Take that shit back and say you didn’t buy it like that and they need to fix it so it’s road worthy. That’s unsafe.

 

Agreed, if this was dealer added mods, take it back to them and raise hell till they fix it.

 

I agree with others though. If it's a dealer installed lift, tires etc. then yeah take it back and make them fix it.

 

OP. I would start with an alignmemt and have caster set to +3. That will move the wheels forward a bit. Then take off or move the fender plastic out of the way and massage (hammer) the pinch weld up. Then get a heat gun and melt the fender liner out ot the way. Then get a dremel and chop off any plastic that still rubs. Lastly do a CMC with an angle grinder.

I have done all this in the last few weeks since going with my OME, spacers, 17" wheels and 285/70/17 tires.

Oh and forget about the mud flaps...they have to go.
