Just got wheels and tires. but they rub on my frame rails. i got a few questions.

i want to buy wheel spacers. 7/16 but im not sure if my tires will rub on the outter part of my bumper. i should clear it right? i would just hate to have to trim any plastic.

I had to trim a little of the corner on my front valance. only a tiny bit, but i also have 35's that are 12.5 wide with a 4.5 inch backspacing wheel and the body lift. you should really try to stay away from wheel spacers, but since you bought the rims and tires already, that might be the best option for you.

Rubbing the frame is not gonna hurt anything. Wheel spacers may cause more problems than they solve. What are the specs on your truck, tires and wheels?
