Rubbing when hard breaking

Hoping to get some advice on where to check/trim for rubbing. I put some 265 75 16 tires on my stock wheels with no issues at all but switched wheels today to some MB Tko wheels and started getting rubbing while turning hard. I removed the front mini (mud flap?) and turning is ok now but I noticed while coming to a hard stop I have rubbing again. Where should I be looking for the hard stop rubbing?

 

Sounds like your coils can’t support the weight of the truck anymore.

 

They did this morning before the new wheels lol

 

If it only rubs when stopping hard and not while turning I can’t see it being in relation to new wheels.. I’d start by shaking down the front end and check for loose parts. Or have a look around for marks from the tire scrubbing if that is indeed what’s going on.

edit to add: how much lift if any?

 

Look for rub marks on in the back of the wheel well.


Braking*

 

Maybe the upper control arms?
Was the offset different from stock wheels?

 

As in the southern part of the wheel well? I was looking in front thinking the truck could slouch forward with a hard braking. I’ll take a look.

 

What’s the offset of the new wheels compared to the old ones? Check for clearance on the UCA’s.

 

Also are the wheels wider then stock?

 

The cab side

 

By the way this is HARD braking not standard driving braking.
The offset may be different I feel like I read it was a -6

 

I "think" that the standard wheel offset for the Tacoma is +30 unless you have 18" wheels then it is +25.

 

Yeah, +30 looks correct based off this link.

Yes in the image in my post the # ET30 figure represents a +30 Offset.

 

So what does this mean if I have -6? I need spacers?

 

This will explain wheel offsets for you.

The Tacoma uses a +30 offset stock. When you went to a negative offset -6 the wheel sticks out more away from the vehicle center line. In otherwords it is like you already have a spacer installed.

 

Wouldn’t that help it rub less?sorry I’m brand new to this.

 

Not necessarily.

 

So are we talking straight line emergency breaking? And the tire is rubbing the fender well or fender flare?
