    Have new tires on my Tacoma and have been dealing with some rubbing. Already trimmed around the wheel well and used a heat gun to mold the plastic but still dealing with it. Anyone know the best spacers to help eliminate rubbing.

    Spacers can help or hurt depending on the wheel backspacing. We need more info.

    I’m no expert but 34 in tire is a lot to fit in wheel well regardless of lift or spacing..with alignment to push tire forward and UCA you might get further away from the cab mount but I’m sure lots will agree the solution is to trim body mount or get smaller tire.. there’s like bazillion threads/users on here and the interwebs to give some input on a cab or body mount chop for a Toyota

    I run 35s on mine. BMC, pinch weld beatings, and fender trimming. Along with some creative alignments with SPC uppers was my solution. I still get rubs at full lock but it's been a journey.

    Spacers will only make it worse. Get the sawzall out and hammer.
