No. You?

 

[kromealt]

No. You?

Nope, just appreciating the tips and help from others willing to offer more than 'search, it's everywhere' when it's clearly not. So many tire rub posts with pinch/fender solutions and a rare mention of caster increase unless us noobs knew to look for...caster increase.

Senior.....

I have 37" Nittos, on factory beadlocks, mid perch, stock fenders, and I have no issues rubbing on or offroad. I'm sure I could make them rub if I jumped the truck and tried real hard, but they don't rub and aren't close when turning. The factory wheels have a +34 offset which makes for 6" of backspace. A 17x8.5 Method has 0 offset which makes for 4.75" of backspace. you have moved your wheels 1.25" outboard... add a tire that is probably 3" wider in the tread and 2.5" taller and you've got a tire that when turned is going to be over 3 inches closer to the back of the fender. New glass fenders don't move your pinch welds and that's where your going to hit first. You need more offset (move in), narrower tire, or shorter tire (35").
Do you still have a factory wheel? You might want to remount and see how it fits.

You have pics of your setup on any other thread?

Skyl3r is running fox3.0, not stock. Also, referring to the pics which is pretty identical to mine; it's not the fender that's the problem with 13.50 at stock mid perch, it's the pinch/body.

Also, @Luke13 be aware of top perch issues on 13+ while running in 4wd - search the forums. Blows up CV boots or some nonsense

I don't see Fox 3.0 helping much. They shouldn't give any height at all compared to the mid perch???

@Luke13 how much rubbing do you get with regular driving on pavement?

A member already answered the OP with a possible solution. I think that PropDr explained his solution sufficiently. I apologize if you were initially offended by my suggestion, but once you have been here long enough you will learn the value of searching the forum for information. You already searched enough to form an opinion regarding top perch and mentioned that previously in this thread. You will also learn that being abrasive and rude to members with possibly more experience and knowledge than you will not get anything useful done around here. As for @RDFTS request to post a thread URL, I will not. You can search for it as I would have to if I wanted the information. I'm sure by doing that, if I so chose to, I would most certainly find it and other information related to my needs that could help me down the road. That was my point initially. This reply is to end the senseless banter between you and I and derailing this thread originally started by the OP looking for help to his issue.

Enough to run Cooper STT Pro's 37x13.50R17 without cutting or trimming anything.
Note: the stock front bumper could be an issue.

Prop, you have glass or stock fenders? I've read about the how alignment can gain you some clearance but I didn't realize it would be that much

If you do the alignment trick to its full extent with 37" Toyos they will hit the square tube under the headlight in the front when turning under compression. The best you can do is turn the give a **** o meter off and start cutting.

@2014RubyRed You sir are a riot, no wonder you have a rep around here. Great addition to Crown and very supportive, good thing other vendors sell the Boatec and DD I was shopping for.

Back on topic

Thanks for the tip on this too! I cut the shit out of my pinch last night and while it's much better I'm gonna try to find a custom alignment shop in town with someone who knows their stuff.

It's starting to look pretty gnarly under there now that I got my hands on it, new fenders/liners are imminent.

Hopefully @Luke13 gets enough clearance with this info for his needs.
