Rubbing at front fender corner w/ 32's (2" BL + TT)

[toop]

Well I have the 2" BL and about 1" TT....I trimmed all the places I need, and now the only time my tires rub is when I am taking a turn while stepping on the brakes....is there anyway to fix this? It is only rubbing on the bottom corner fender...here is a pic...

Thanks!!

Yup.. just trim the fenders.. Getting a 15x8 with 3.75 will still cause it to rub since it'll pull the tire out 1/4" more than the stock rim.

why didnt you go with the 3" bl and leave the bolts? or 3" bl and 1" tt? just wondering

didn't want to do the steering extension...the 2" was hard enough as it was....little knowledge and no tools hehe.....me and a friend just took a shot at it and figured it out.....

The definitive answer to this thread can be summed up by one name...
Mr. Sawzall

Yes indeed, Mr. Sawzall will work wonders, i have way more trimmed. If you need to, have a few drinks until you're confident enough to start trimming away at that.

Well, can anyone tell me what is behind the plastic fender piece?....how are deep can I cut out?.....and what is that foam-rubber piece in the top-right hand corner?

When I put on 32's I needed to Sawzall the front chrome looking plastic a bit, but I just used a big hammer to fold back the rear part of the front wheel well.

I trimmed that black plastic off with a Dremmel tool, like the picture. I didn't have to cut any metal, I just cut out some plastic and banged away with the hammer. The foam stuff you can just push in or take out.

Then just turn the wheel to give you some swing room & massage the lower lip of the wheel well up & in.
