Default Problems with 2017 raptor takeoffs

Hey everyone,
I recently had a set of machined raptor rims installed with 33" tires.

I noticed a rubbing sound when driving away from the tire shop.
I returned to shop and we realized the rim was rubbing where the abs sensor wire is mounted. Next to where the brake line is mounted.

Has anyone had this problem?

Had the same issue. Didn’t realize it until I went to rotate the tires and saw the bracket had scored the wheel

How did you end up fixing the issue?

The tire shop just zip tied it to a different location.
I'm wondering if I should bolt it directly to the new locat.

I don’t hear the noise anymore, i didn’t do anything to fix it. I think it scored *just enough* and it doesn’t make noise anymore.

You can use a correctly installed, quality spacer. Either 1" or 1.5" will do the trick.
Will give your truck a more aggressive, off-road look too.
