Rubbing, but not for my pleasure ‍33x12.50/17

A good shop that understands how to adjust an alignment to fit bigger tires. Really it's just adding caster. Pushing the high end of the offset to do it with no chop but it has worked for some. I did it on a 17x9 +1 wheel no chop

 

I’m guessing that’s what you had to do to yours? I think trying the alignment out first is probably the best first option. And if not probably surgery is the next it seems.

 

Yep but I'm on a 295/70r17 mounted to a 17x9-25 and I flex the truck regularly. So a taller but narrower tire.
So I saw you mention you were on a 285 originally. Didn't gain much height but alot of width so I'm willing to bet chopping will be your only real option at this point. That 12.5 takes a bit to fit especially on a -12. Also what uca are you running that can be a huge factor. I lost room when I went from spc's to dirt king but my dirt kings are so much more reliable.

 

What I’m running. I’ve seen them on Amazon for less. https://www.extremeterrain.com/free...r-control-arms-for-2-4-in-lift-fo-t701fu.html

 

Not much for info but I'm expecting added caster to return to stock alignment based on the description which works against us for fitting larger tires.

 

Well I’m currently in NM heading back to KY. Whenever I get back I’ll post a pic of the wheel turned into the location where the problem is. These are uca’s I have I put them on about 4 years ago when I had a very small budget. The https://www.extremeterrain.com/free...r-control-arms-for-2-4-in-lift-fo-t701fu.html

 

Spc upper control arms can help move the tire forward or backwards to help stop rubbing.

 

Hopefully these are clear enough.

 

I would try pushing a touch more caster with an alignment but I'm willing tp bet it's chopping time

 

Please oh please let the alignment fix this lol. If not… you looking to buy some 33’s?lol

 

Definitely not 12.5's only way you will see me on a 12.5 wheel is in a 35. 295/70 or 285/75r17 is the sweet spot on these trucks if you want a big tire with the least work. Even then I'm debating gusseted spindles.

I wouldn't truly count on the alignment working. With spc ucsa's good alignment and 285/70 on a 17x9+1 I cleared the cab mount but you can see where it touched the mud flap

 

what mud flaps are these?
