Lightning Wheels Rub
I just put the chrome Lightning wheels on my wifes 1998 Expedition. When I turn the wheel all the way to the right there is a scraping. I've read what it is and how to fix it, but I can't find the info now that I need it.
I cant get a look until 4/15. It would be nice to know what to look for and what to do ahead of time.

Been there, done that! I put Lightning wheels on an Exp. They will rub on the brakeline bracket. You have to either relocate the bracket or do what I did and bend the bracked back out of the way. I changed out the square headed bolt to a round head, and finally, I filed down the sharp corners of the bracket which protrude out a bit.
Do not turn the wheel to full turn without this fix. Otherwise you will gouge your rims.

It's a 4x4. Apparently this prob. is hit or miss. Not all trucks have the problem with these wheels.

Just curious, are all your trucks 4x2's or 4x4's? I have a 4x4, but they don't rub.</font>
