    I'm having an issue with my front tires rubbing the control arms on my 07 Tacoma. I bought the truck with the tires already on it, they are Pro Comp 285 70R/17. I don't really have any experience with this and am not sure what the best solution would be. I'm hoping to simply eliminate the rubbing without breaking the bank. Here are some photos:

    Thanks for your help!

    Cheapest: wheel spacers; could cause more issues leading to more money..

    Better: Upper control arms; assuming it has a 3" lift on it. Or new wheels.

    This will happen when running 285s on stock wheels. New wheels or wheel spacers ( I don't suggest ) or new UCAs will fix this.

    Awesome, thanks for the responses! So I will either go with new wheels or UCAs...any recommendations on a source for UCAs that would work for me?
