Tires rubbing will going down a size stop the rubbing or ?
So I weren’t with a 22x12 -44 wheel and 37x12.50r22 Ridge Grapplers and we have trimmed about all we can trim and I still rub a little even with my 7” Lift when going in and out of my driveway . My question is if I drop to 35” tires will the rubbing stop or is it still going to rub because I have a -44 offset wheel ? Just trying to decide wether I should just get 35” tires and keep my current wheels or go to a whole new set up like a 20 or 22” with a -18 offset and 35” tires.

If you trimmed all you can then I’m sure you cut out the crash bars? You’re prolly getting into the bumper with that offset & or the rear corner at the pinch weld? I can’t say for sure, hopefully someone with 12’s chimes in with 35’s so you don’t waste money...but I know for a fact with 35/12.50’s 10’s & -25 offset along with cutout crashbars & trimmed valance I have zero rubbing.

I have a Ready Lift 7” kit installed. Yes the crash bars have been cut already. The installer put a little spacer in the front bumper and It doesn’t appear to be rubbing. It’s for sure rubbing where the fender flare connect to the truck behind the drivers side tire because it cracked it. Not sure where else it’s rubbing. I know when I turn into my driveway going about 3-4 mph and it’s not a real steep driveway I get rubbing every time. Trucks a little dirty so excuse the pics

12" wide -44 is going to rub no matter what tire you run.

that sucks. I asked a couple guys on here with the same set up they said they didn’t have any issues. Looks like I’ll be ordering another new set of wheels and tires. Also Can’t really get the deep dish look I have now with 10” wide wheels. Bummer.

With your lift you might be able to run a 37" with an 8.5" 0 offset. Maybe.

So the lift and 37s are for looks? If you rub on the street you would rip the fenders off if you tried to 4-wheel it. I don't understand big tire 4X4 road queens but that's OK - it's your truck and you can do with it as you please. I hope you get it squared away.
