315 KO2's rubbing with 0 offset wheels

[Jason Kerbs]

I have read many posts on here to research max offset on wheels. The consensus seemed to be 0 offset max to avoid rubbing. 2013 running mid perch with stock size KO2's and some fifteen52 Turbomac's I picked up on CL special. Love the look of the truck but they rub on the mud flaps at full lock. I'm ok removing the mud flaps but am concerned about real rubbing issues the next time I hit the trails.

Can I just ditch the mud flaps and be ok for full cycle?

Verify it is hitting the mud flaps, not the fender liners. You can just put some chalk on the places it might be rubbing, and back up at full lock to see where it might be touching. If it is not hitting the liners popping the mudflaps makes sense. If it is hitting the liners take it to an alignment shop and have them add + caster, it will move the wheels forward in the arches and solve the problem. Added caster will not affect tire wear, it may increase low speed steering effort but you get better high speed stability.

Thanks for the input. I removed the mud flaps and it doesn't rub anymore. It is very close so I may still have some caster added to it. Thanks again!
