What do i do now!

[XcumminsX]

Ok ever since i got my new fender flares on im rubbing all around ... I am thinking of maybe getting the trex coils + mini packs in the rear to lift it 2. 5". Which brings me to this question... I have a spacer in there now. I was going to take it out and throw on the new coil. Right now i have the snow plow prep coils. I really hope that extra 1/2" will get rid of this ... I was also going to add the mini pak in the rear to add some height back there . The big problem here is i have m/t classic II's that are 17 x 9 w/ 5" bs and no offset :-{} ... WTH should i do? I am going to check if i can cut the fender flares alittle bit

Hey Nick what size tires do you have??? Where do they rub??? Do you have the 2 inch spacers in the front???? Did they rub befor you put the flares on??

 

[XcumminsX]

They only rub on the fender flares while turning into my driveway... goes up alittle bit... NEVER rubbed before

17 x 9 w/ 5" bs and no offset

It is physically impossible to have a 9" wheel with 5" of backspacing and 0 offset. For 0 offset, the backspacing would be 4. 5". Or, with 5" backspacing, the offset would be -0. 5".

it sorta is possable to have 5" bs and 0 offset on a 9" wheel. the wheel is measured from the inside on the width, and if the safety beads where the wheel weights mount are thick enough [1/2" each side] it will give you a wheel that is 9" wide inside, 10" wide outside 5" backspacing and 0 offset since offset is measured off the centerline of the wheel and backspacing is measured off the back lip of the wheel...

I thought our wheels were hub centric, looks like those are lug centric, does it make a difference???

 

[XcumminsX]

I just read a bunch of stuff on hub vs. lug centric and im really hoping these m/t classic II's are not being overloaded ... I never tow so i dont know...

Sell the dang truck. It is giving you to much trouble. And all those mods have taken away from your value. I think I would give you like $2000 for it. Sounds fair?

I mean there are some really nice 1976 yotas around here you can do nothing wrong too... .

Just take the FF's off

X live a little

Just pullin your leg. Why not take the FF's off? I think I would rather keep the rims than the flares if I had to chose.

I will not take the ff's off... . not an option in my book. They are very functional. stop all rock chips and keeps stuff from hurting my paint/body. Plus i love how they look.....

 

[WPeschel]

Well then it sounds like the only option left is to buy a suspension lift for your truck... My buddy has a EZ ride on his truck just like yours but red and he loves it... . He also has 315's on his... Not even close to rubbing...

spacers are for little boys... go ahead and do the suspension right, you'll feel better about it.
