    what are those?
    I got ridge grapplers installed last night and had to take off the mudflaps due to rubbing. This am I took a corner and heard that I am still rubbing. Everything I read said I should have no issue with that tire size on my truck.

    wheel spec is replica 17x8 + 5 offset.

    its almost like it is rubbing on the fender when I turn right not the inner plastic... its only the front drivers side that rubs.

    any ideas what it could be? possibly alignment is out?

    I am not lifted at all.. 2015 sport.

    Gotta be the wheels. I just put 255/85 r 16's on 2020 take offs (factory offset) with no rub at all and they are a full inch larger in diameter on my 2015 dblc. I do have a lift but at full deflection with turning I only got the little flappy thing in the front of the wheel liner on the drivers side. Start there.

    There is space that can be gained with an alignment... not ideal, but a possible solution for $80 rather than new wheels or a lift.

    See it a lot with wheels like that. I agree start with an alignment and ask for the most positive caster.

    That section is also an easy spot to trim with a dremel :)
