Just installed some adapters on the truck (2012 limited with stock 20" wheels), and now I have some rubbing in the rear. Also a little rubbing up front when cornering hard, but I can avoid that for the moment, may need to go with a smaller size there. I did 1.5" in the rear, 1" in the front. Also lowered on H&R springs... I'll have to take a pic or two if I get a chance tomorrow after work. I love the way it sits now. Just gotta work out the kinks.

Just wondering if anyone has done anything with the plastic liner of the rear fenders. I have a fender roller and heat gun I was thinking about using, but wanted to see what others may have done.

Of all the posts regarding wheels adapters, no one has gone wider than .75" front/1.0" rear. What made you decide to go your route? Are you lowered?
 






I went with those sizes based on how I wanted the appearance to be of the wheels relative to the body. Already figured I would probably need to do some work with the rear just wasn't sure to what extent. I'll be working on it some today or tomorrow.

.75 front would have been ideal, and I may switch to that. Rear probably could have gone with 1.25, but 1" would not have been enough for me. But I should be able to deal with the rear fender liners. Not a whole lot you can do with the front though
 






Don't understand why you would go out of your way to make a bad situation worse. Dont think you expected the results you got.
Let's see some pics.
