    Does anybody had this issue before ?
    I put on 17’ TRD wheels with
    falken wildpeak at3w 265/70r17 and the wheels and tires on the right side are like an half of inch out of the fenders than the wheels and tires on the left side of the truck ......
    When you look at it from close range it’s really obvious and don’t know what it cause is it ....
    I’m not sure from those two photos you guys can see it properly but it’s there ....
    Anyone ???

    Does the bed line up with the cab ok?

    Its neither wheels or tires. Its either a crooked bed or off center axle.

    You just didnt notice it before. Several folks have had similar, both are easy fixes.

    The funny part is that both wheels on the right side wider than the wheels on the driver side

    Been discussed. Alot of people have the same complaint. Mine does it too but its not hurting anything and i just stopped looking at it. If its under warranty, take it to the dealership.

    It was only 5k so maybe they cut corners during the build.

    Looks fine to me. Maybe you are not standing the same on both sides and it's just the angle your at?

    As mentioned it is so the driveline angle stays at a certain amount of degree to keep the u- joints alive

    As mentioned earlier....is your bed squared up with the frame/cab??? Seems to be a common issue that beds are not installed correctly frequently (among other frequent issues).
