18 inchers are rubbing like hell. Only on the passenger side. How can I fix this? Also I hear everyone torqing down the sway bars. Explain this to me.
1. How low is your truck? 2. What tire sizes are you running up front? 3. Rubbing where? 4. Do you have a hammer? 5. Do you have a BFH?
245/40/18, right on the outer well. Thought about changing tire size 225/235 30 18? Dropped 3 inches in the front, yeah I thought about the fenders as well. What's a bfh?
Big facking hammer lol. Bang out the inner fender wells. 225/40/18's up front, keep the rear as is Shouldn't be too drastic of a change. Grab 4wd fenders!
Yah man you should be legit with smaller width tires if your rubbing only a bit. However like Cin said 4wd fenders will help a ton. If your gonna grab a BFH the one pictured is a bit extreme so maybe something more handheld LOL
i used a regular hammer. and weight lifting class helped me.... swinging at an inner fender is gunna rock your arms man.
I dont like swinging big hammers in small spaces.. hate swiping my fingers on crap so I just punched mine till I dented it enough for it not to rub.. I did both sides though, and Im running 215 35 18s
Yeah tires, but man fenders, repaint not what i wanted, maybe when i make turns i will put ear plugs/ ear muffs.
Hahahaha. Yea re painting is a pain. Try and roll the fenders if you can. Should help. Are your wheels spaced at all?
Here's my truck dropped around 4-5" in the front with 225/40/18's: I pulled and rolled the outer fenders and had plenty of clearance and no rubbing issues there. For the inner fenders, I beat the seam flat (with the BFH like mentioned earlier) and grinded down every single nut and bolt that protruded into the well. All this helped but rubbing the top of the fenders on big bumps was still unavoidable. Sometimes it's just something you have to live with.
