    Has never rubbed at all on road or off. I’ve had an alignment done on it since day 1 and it’s been flawless.

    Oh right the Pro comes with a lift, I forgot about that. Makes sense. Im amazed its not rubbing even offroad on 285s. Are they 285/75/R16s?

    I don’t think mine came with mudflaps at all. Unless I took them off years ago and forgot

    Might be your wheel offset, from what I read lift, 285's and 0 offset or less should not rub

    And a good alignment. Remember guys, a good alignment will "not" be in spec. Positive caster should be between 3° and 4°. Those are out of spec numbers. Camber and toe will be in spec though. My 285's clear, even with the factory mudflaps.IMG_20220523_201755891.jpg

    My wheels are on -12mm offset, is that helping or hurting in this case?

    So next time I get an alignment, should I tell them to put the positive castor between 3 and 4 degrees?

    Tell them to get as much positive caster as your UCA's will allow, still getting your camber and toe in spec. Stock UCA's might get a little over 2° before caster fails. That's why a lot of others get aftermarket UCA's. They allow a lot more positive caster, adjusted at the LCA's, and still get camber and toe in spec.

    Tell them to get as close to 4° as they can, adjusted at the LCA's. Not all alignment shops will adjust caster, out of spec, so ask them if they will before you have it done there.
