Tire Rubbing?

triplet_2004 · 08-01-2005, 02:43 AM

I recently bought a 2005 Titan SE 4x4 Crew Cab that came from the
dealership with a 6" Fabtech suspension lift with LT325/65/18 tires on it
already. I experienced some pretty severe tire rubbing on the edges
of the fenders when turning. After taking it back to the dealership
(with a bad attitude) they did some minor body modification to remedy
the rubbing (I talked them out of aftermarket nerf bar side steps
too). I was wondering if anyone else has had any tire rubbing
experience with lift kits/bigger tires?

Surprised you had the rub with the lift. I had a little rubm but my tires are an inch narrower and an inch and a half shorter. I solved mine with a heat gun. Check the tire section regarding this. Maybe they had the incorrect offset? Good luck with the setup..

I have the same lift and same size tires, mine rubbed slightly but I also have the leveling kit on with the lift. Check the front of the wheel wells, there is a little fin part in the center, trim that fin down a little. That helped take care of mine, I thought it was rubbing in the rear of the wheel well.
