    nice wheels mine are similar..make sure to take it to a good place to balance them cause they are heavier..I had to get mine balanced a couple times to get rid of the shaking at 65-70mph

    Ben you should not rub and there is no way the fender flares will do anything. They are too skinny.

    And damn Okiyota! Looks great! Gotta lot of work to do tho sounds like. Get that bumper on!

    Did yours have the red stripe along the outside rim of the wheel? Whats your backspacing and do they rub at full lock? Im guessing you have 285 BFG Mt's

    dude my 255's barely rubbed the rear fender flare and those are about a full inch taller than your tires. You should be fine.

    Can someone help me Diagnose this problem?

    th_video-2011-11-06-16-03-11_cc70c751dda0b80ac624a1e23fb9fed984b390f4.jpg

    Here's what going on.

    Since ive fixed the cylinder misfire issue by replacing the wires, ive been smelling this awful burning smell. Kinda like clutch or rubber, and its coming from the engine. Ive seen a little bit of smoke, but it was only once.

    I noticed the noise only 2 days ago now, and its seems to be getting worse. It sounds like it coming from the fan pulley area. Im wondering if its a bearing thats rubbing and causing that noise and smell. Really hoping its not the water pump.
    Thanks

    Sounds like the dummy water pump bearing is SHOT.
