I haven’t. All stock

Has anyone found a way to calculate the largest tire/wheel setup without rubbing? Currently have Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12/5r22s w/ 4" BDS lift and even after 25,000 miles I'm still suffering from rubbing. I want to replace the tires in the next 4-6 months but have heard there's some magic formula to deciding the biggest tire without the rub. Thanks in advance!

I’m running OE Replica 22”x9s. They’re Chevy/GMC 22s. I’m really not sure what the offset is, but the backspacing is 1/4” or so from the caliper. the first shop I used is a local joint, seemed quite confident. Didn’t love their result. Second is a large chair place. They did a great job explaining everything. Off by a minor amount on steering wheel alignment. its just an RST, no trail boss. I’ll get photos of rubbing issues and clearances tomorrow.

So, I'm 700 or so miles in and this has been a nightmare. I don't even like to drive my truck anymore. BDS claimed that 4" would allow for 35x12.5 would fit. I have 35x12.5-22s installed with the 4" lift. I claimed no rub because I didn't have any. After my first alignment (there have been three and it's still not right) I immediately noticed some rubbing... and I'm talking about 40%-60% turn frontwards and reverse was worse. I thought the alignment shop may have done something, so I explained the issue, along with the fact that the toe was still very very wrong. He took it back in, on the other side of the second alignment, same issues all the way around. Found another shop and had the third alignment. the numbers say it's aligned correctly, but the steering wheel is still off, and it still has a weird feel... and the rubbing continues. I feel like it's not as bad in drive, but reverse I'm so damn limited in range that I don't even back out of parking spots anymore. I have to ensure I can drive through them or the lane is wide. I said all of that to ask... is this a BDS issue? Should I call and complain? I LOVE the ride aside from the rubbing. And it looks amazing.

Taking it to the dealership to let them deal with that. Haven’t really researched it yet, honestly.

Well... it’s all complete, finally! Here’s some update photos.

Finally got it installed. Took us legit 17 hours. First timers... now I know it’s worth the cost to have it done. BDS 4” OE Replica 22” 35” Ridge Grapplers no rub.

How difficult is the install? Dealer part?

I made it happen.

It’s back... 200 miles

100+ miles in, no jingle. I have about 6 hours of driving to do today, so I’ll know for sure by days end. I’ll update when I get home.

Got the truck back today. About a 20 min drive home, with 250 ft worth it chain link fence parts in the back, zero noise. I’ll keep y’all updated with my results. Crossing my fingers that this is the one.

So, had a repair “B” way back when. Just dealt with the noise since, obviously the repair didn’t work. Today I took the truck back in. They’re way up in letters now for the repair updates. “E” to be exact. Photos posted below. I’ll let you know what it does.

I’m excited to see that.
