    I have a 2009 Sport TRD access cab which has the 17" option for tires, 265/65/R17. I put on some LT 265/70/R17 Toyo's and had rubbing on the mud flaps so off they came, I still have slight occasional rubbing when turning to the right while headed downhill. I have pulled the wheels off and I can not see where the rub is coming from so I don't know what if anything needs trimming.


    I am thinking of putting on some 5100 Bilsteins which I believe will take care of the occasional rub. I would like some input as to what height setting I should place the Bilsteins at, can you guys offer some advice?

    I have BFG 265/70/17 and have no rub at all. I had them when it was stock and it didn't rub. But it definitely doesn't rub now with bilstein 5100's up front set at 2.5.
