So I got my new Nitto Trail Grapplers in 295/70R18 last week... there on the stock 18'' lariat rims. I love the tires, not to loud... but....

At full lock I've got a rub on the control arm. No other rubbing, but I'm trying to figure out if there might be a way to correct this. I know alot of people with say "your either gonna rub on the wheel well or the control arm with just a leveling kit"... but hey we can try right?

Only thing i can figure that might work is a wheel spacer... uck

Anybody else had this problem running a leveling kit and 35's with control arm rubbing you were able to fix it? Thanks

Most people just live with it. Odds are, a set of wheel spacers will probably cause more problems than they solve.

 

Wandell: that rubbing on the control arm isn't a big issue? what about rubbing on the wheel well? Should that be trimmed where the tire is rubbing or just leave it cause it's not a big deal?

 

Just dont drive in tight circles and you'll bee good. My tires rub on the frame and control arm at full lock. You learn to not turn too tight.

 

If its rubbing just on the lock to lock, other then the obvious of not turning that far, you can put a steering limiter on the vehicle that will stop you from turning to far. Either way, you get the same result. Just one of the perks for going big!!
