nothing lol mine rub when i turn the wheel full lock. itll just cut your turning radius down a little bit. looks like you got plenty of room between the tire and bumper too so you wont need to trim the valence.

Depends on what it's rubbing and how bad. If it's rubbing on a flat piece of framerAil it wouldn't hurt anything but if it's on something sharp or a bolt head ect it can cut your tire. I don't know much about this gen trucks but just wanted to throw that in there. Best way is to find a 35" tire have it mounted and put it on the front and see if it fits or hits lol
