    Recently bought a 2107 SR5 with aftermarket lift, wheels and tires. Really love the truck. Tight suspension, rides great except when turning the tires rub the inside of the wheel well. The tires are BF Goodrich All Terrain 285/70R17. On smooth roads, no rubbing but when driving over bumps or dips, the tires rub. What options do I have other than new tires or cutting out the wheel well?

    You can use a heat gun to make the plastic pieces and inner fender liner more malleable and try to massage them into a better fit. There's a ton of room behind that fender liner in most places.

    Alternatively you can go to an alignment shop with knowledgeable techs and get them to max out your LCA eccentric cams so that the wheel is positioned as far forward as possible.

    Good luck!
