3.0 coilovers

[Slorichie]

I have a 2013 Raptor on mid perch with 18x9, 35x12.50 toyo, -12 offset. My tire rubs at almost full turn on bumbs and backing up turning. i measured hub to fender, and I'm at 25.25. if i go with a 3.0 coilovers and adjust to 26.5" hub to fender flare will i not rub, does anyone have this combo? i want to avoid trimming fender liner and hammering over the pinch weld if possible.

Thanks

Not an expert, but I believe the offset is where your problem is.
Usually rubbing isn't a problem with 35x12.5

The best way to avoiding rubbing will be to hammer the pinch welds. It really isn't that big of a deal. Prime and paint them and reinstall the liner. Use some self tappers to keep the liners up tight. If you are rubbing on the fender itself, then you will need to do some trimming there as well. 3.0's are going to move the tire away from these areas under compression.....

What about going to top perch and not spending $2500?

Does the truck see time offroad?

Those wheels stick out too far. Buying new wheels with 0 to positive offset will fix your problem with zero trimming.

Thanks for the replies. The truck see the sand dunes im 5 minutes away from Oceano (pismo dunes) snow a few times/ year also, no heavy off roading (jumping). I read the top perch puts the truck at 27" and that is where binding starts, leveling kit is out of the question, because of to much drop and binding. I'm going to try the 3.0 coilovers and then trim the pinch weld if needed. I'll report back. I still have stock rims and tires if I spend the week at the dunes.

Thanks

I had a similar rubbing issue with 325/70/17 and Methods.

My solution was to push the wheel forward using the alignment slots. My truck has Icon UCAs on it so I could get it aligned again. You need a good alignment guy who understands how to to do this.

I am also on mid perch with stock shocks. I do still get rubbing under full comperession on the fender flare on the top.
