Tire rubbing question
Hey guys! I have a fast question and I am interested to see what other people think. I have a 2015 Platinum with stock Hanook 275/55/20's and stock rims:
Product ID: ALY10004
Product: Wheel/Rim
Material: Aluminum
Style: 6 Spoke
Finish: Polished
Size: 20x8.5
Lugs: 6/135.00
Offset: 44mm
Backspacing: Unable to locate
I put a BORA 1.5 inch spacer about 7k miles ago and have had zero issues with rubbing, no vibrations, etc. I purchased a new set of rims and tires: Toyo Open Country same size (275/55/20) with KD Series Monsters
XD77829067218
Product: Wheel/Rim
Material: PDV/Chrome
Style: 6 Spoke
Size: 20" x 9"
Lugs: 6x135.00
Offset: Offset: 18
Back Spacing: 6.38
Two things stand out to me.
1. There is a 26mm difference between the stock and aftermarket (which I didn't realize). With the 18mm offset I am assuming that this is sitting closer to the hub than the stock which is causing very slight rubbing on the inner part of the wheel well cover (driver side only).
2. Stock wheels were 20" x 8.5 and aftermarket is 20" x 9
What I am thinking is the following:
1. Removing the spacers which might not fix it?
2. Go up to a 1.75 inch spacer which looks like it would fix the problem.
3. Since I have to get a service have them align the truck which could fix it since it's very minor but enough to cause long term issues.
4. (Don't really like this option). Possibly drill two holds and zip tie it which would pull it in fixing the problem which is better than trimming it down or out.
Thoughts, concerns, comments?
TIA
Dave

The more aggressive wheel offset (less positive into the negatives), the better chance it'll rub your wheel liners and/or crash bars. Removing your wheel spacers should fix all your rubbing issues since you have the stock tire size.

The backspacing on your stocker is 6.5". And the aftermarket option XD77829067218 is 5.71".
Not sure what you mean by closer to the hub. The +18mm offset will sit less tucked than the +44mm. The higher/positive your offset is, the more it is being tucked.
I like to use a term called frontspacing, its the opposite of backspacing, but tells you where the outside of the wheel will sit.
Your aftermarket wheels will stick out 1.3" more than the stock 20x8.5's. But also provide about 0.75" more clearance on the inside. If you go to the new wheels, and remove the wheel spacers, they will sit within a quarter inch of where yours are now.
I would buy the wheels, ditch the spacers, and go on with life
. But seriously though, you should be fine.
