    Alright taco lovers
    I got a few questions that hopefully can be answered!
    I recently upgraded tires to 285/75/16 falken wildpeak and I LOVE EM but I put them in stock wheels at the moment now I noticed a bit of rubbing on the control arms and I’m wondering if a 2 inch level kit will fix this or do I HAVE to get new wheels with a different offset
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't think a lift will solve that issue, either need different wheels or need to add a wheel spacer to space the tire away from the control arm.

    You need a different wheel with more back spacing or you have to run a space. Lifts don’t help with width tire clearance. You can put a 10in lift with that set up and they will still rub on the UCA

    First off thanks to you guys for being very welcoming! Sure is great to talk about these issues and ways to solve them.
    Y’all answered exactly what I needed to know.
    Looks like I’m off to get some new wheels lol

    Now here’s my other dilemma; if it’s only rubbing at full lock can I run these wheels for the mean time? Or should I get new wheels ASAP to avoid any damages the rubbing could possibly cause?
