    Hey guys, I got my wheels and tires installed today. I’ve got Fuel D733 17x9x-12 on some 265/70/17 falken wild peaks. I took the mudflaps off and I’m still rubbing quite a bit. Anyone have any tips to fix it?

    Those are wide wheels. Are you rubbing on the front or back of the wheel well?

    An alignment can push the wheels forward a small amount, and they you can heat mold the front liners.

    Mild trimming, heat gunning the inner liners and an alignment can fix a lot of it. I went a step further and did a small lift and no more rubbing. My wheels are 17x8.5 -10 with 265/70/17 Duratrac tires.
