2003 rodeo front tire rub 2WD #900825 08/16/08 02:24 AM

Need a Spot
Just installed a set of aftermarket 16 x 8" wheels with stock 245x70x16 tires. I am getting a lot of tire rub at the bottom of the front fender when turning tight. I removed the mud flaps, but still rub. Since this is my daughters truck, I wanted to put the flaps back on but simply do not have any room. I want to maintain the fender well cover. Any suggestions? Will a body lift help this problem?

A body lift might help depending on how much its rubbing. 2nd gen rodeos have small wheel well openings and after market wheels with less back space then stock tend to rub.

I have a 3" lift and still had to trim my fenders to fit 32" tires with after market wheels that have 3.75" back space. Its not really noticeable unless you are looking for it.

You probably wouldnt have to trim as much with smaller tires.
