New Wheels Rub

[luckyshotbrooks]

Hello everyone. I just purchased some 18x9 Fuel Maverick with -12 offset. I put them on 275/70 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I have the ReadyLift 2.25 leveling kit as well. I did a lot research and everything I read said this would work with no rubbing or trimming. Well that’s not the case. At nearly full lock it hits on the back of the fender wall. The carpet, plastic and metal part all make contact. I can’t figure out why my truck is so special lol. Anyways I know my options are to go with a lift or getter a higher offset or trim but I really like the stance with this set up and I’d like to not get a lift or trim metal if possible. Do y’all think 285/65r18 would solve the issue with the tire being a half inch smaller?

Depends on how "hard" it is rubbing.  If it is slightly catching the carpet/metal fender, then yes the 285/65 will most likely be the answer.  If it is hitting it hard, then I don't think a half inch will make a big difference.  Will still rub.. just not as hard.
