    the 2017 Fuel Ripper wheels and toyo 285/60/18's are on! They look sweet! Then pulling in my driveway they rubbed on my front mudflaps. Went over A speed bump with a slight turn they rubbed. So bummed !! Emailed my tire guy where I bought everything (and it wasn't cheap) he said they they could take care of and would put the mudflaps back on because I took them off. Something about how the tire wearing down a bit but does that sound normal??

    285s always rub a bit. See what he can do for you but you may need to spend a bunch of money on a lift with upper control arms.

    IN THE MEAN TIME WHERE ARE THE PICS?!?!

    Depends on offset of the wheel but that tire size is close to stock.

    Yeah I need to load. I'm new still trying to figure out navigation around the site. Thank you for the reply - I really hope this does not require a lift even though I was quoted 850 for 3" lift from the dealer where I purchased. Will have the new pics on Tuesday
