wheels rubbing need suggestions

[Raptorgabe]

I got some 20x9 with 3" spacers on 35 12.5 and I trimmed the fender and trimmed the front bumper brackets ! I can turn almost all the way but not full lock ! can I remove them brackets on the end and be ok or do they have to be there ? don't want to lift it anymore but don't want to change my set up ! there trimmed all the way to the bolt so I can trim anymore

3" spacers are your problem. Either deal with it rubbing or build it right

If you want that wide of a spacer get a Sawzall and cut the chit outta everything.

It don't rub on the back of the fender just the one bumper bracket so can I remove them or is that all that is holding the bumper on?

Either cut more, lift more, or remove the spacers.. Your call... Think I'd remove the spacers but that's just me.. You want wider get a 12" wide rim. At least that's safer then those 3" spacers..

if I do a 12 wide wheel il be in the exact same boat as im in ! and I cant cut more because it will being going into the bolt and If I lift more than it wont fit in my garage lol

I was only referencing the 12" wide to remove the 3" spacer.. I know it puts it right back in the same predicament.. My opinion is only my opinion but if I want wide, and it rubs I'd lift it more to keep it from rubbing. If it doesn't fit in the garage then that's the price I gotta pay for wanting what I want.. I just cant see removing stuff and cutting stuff to get it to work when its my daily driver. Mine doesn't fit in the garage.. LOL

well hell lol yeah I know I dunno what to do I love the way it looks now but hate how it looks with wheels tucked in

Shim the front bumper out. Just loosen those two bolts on either side of the bumper by the bracket u are talking about. Then go to the front of the bumper by the tow books and removed the two bolts on either side and get you some 1/2 inch washers "I think" and problem will be solved.

 

[Raptorgabe]

Does that move the brackets ? That's what it is rubbing on? If so I'm sure that's all it will take !

 

[anth]

If we are talking about the same bracket then yes.

 

[anth]

Yes it will move them.

 

[mattmal9]

If your talking about the black brackets behind the foglights, yes they can be removed and the bumper will still stay in place.

You can take those brackets off. Mine are off and it's fine
