Will a 1.5" wheel spacer on a 2" front lift and 265/75/R16 tires cause rubbing on a 3rd Gen truck?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm planning to lift my 2019 3rd Gen truck by 2" in the front and keep the rear stock, and add a 1.5" wheel spacer with 265/75r16 tires. I'm curious if this setup will cause any rubbing or if I'll need to do any cutting. My goal is to achieve a great look with minimal modifications, as I don't do much off-roading and just want a cool appearance.
    Your input is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    ^Yes you'll probably have to remove the mudflaps and trim a bit of the fender flare and fender liner. If you don't want to trim at all, don't run the wheel spacer. 265/75r16 fits stock wheels on stock suspension with no modifications.

    Thanks, I have seen or heard people running the same settings with a 1.25" spacer and they did not complain about rubbing. Just wondering if I could get away with a 1.5"
