285/75/16 with 0mm offset wheels no rub

Simple mode melted inside wheel well a bit to get to no rub. Minor rub on wheel well before mod.

Pulling into the driveway at quick speeds I rubbed in the fender well. I hit some big bumps hard and ran through a ditch a couple times to try and make it rub.

horse shoes and hand grenades eh OP?

 

Maybe update the title with ALMOST and it still rubs otherwise it's terribly misleading.

"285/75/16 with 0mm offset wheels still rub *confirmed*"

 

Ahhh bait and switch...

TITLE (Expectation) :

POST (Reality) :

 

This thread is like me buying a girl a drink in in my college days.

 

I think all gens were created equally.

I dont plan on doing any real off roading anytime soon so I wont know how it will do.

It does rub a bit but it's nothing I cant fix with a heat gun. I am going to keep playing with it and try and get it to rub. I am ready to do a Cmc but I will only do it if necessary. Right now it doesnt seem necessary. Seriously though, I've been driving it for about 1 hour total since I've gotten them. I will update but they seem good.

 

Is this truck lifted or stock?

 

Stock. Just a little bit of rub on the plastic wheel well. So far anyways... I will update later.

 

Update after a few weeks...

The truck settled I guess and the rub got a bit worse. Only when turning and breaking/reversing from an even plane onto an inclinde/decline. I melted the feeders back a bit with a heat gun, nothing major. Fixed it completely. I went on a pretty heavy trail and couldn't get it to rub.

 

I can see a loss on the mpg, but no issues with cruise control or gear finding. It drives comfortably still.

 

Update: Truck fully settled. No run after minor wheel well modified. Heated up with heat gun and pushed plastic back.

Great idea for the people willing to take a risk. 0mm offset is key.

 

Go off road and get two opposing wheels off the ground while also turning and let us know what happens.

 

No sure what that proves. Pretty sure with the right amount of speed, velocity, and articulation you could get just about anything to rub. If you look at the pictures you can easily deduce that it's not a rock crawling rig

 

Or built for much off roading
