I have a 2013 F150 lowered with a 3/5 drop on 295 / 35 / 24 s. I'm getting a rub when I make u-turns or hard turns either direction. It appears the top insude of the tire is hitting the underneath fender well plastic. Any quick or easy remedies besides changing my tire size?

the rims must be pretty wide...or have a lot of positive offset

would a 1/4" wheel spacer give enough clearance to stop the rubbing?

They're 9.5" wide with a 44 offset vs 25 stock offset. So what is that like a .7" difference? Great idea though but how safe and reliable are spaces. Never used them. Any downside besides sticking out a bit more?

Yes that's a wide rim with a lot of offset. And the tire is wide to boot.

I've used them before on the back of my truck with no issues. I don't think your wheel studs are long enough to safely do more than a 1/4" spacer. With only a 1/4" spacer, even your hubcentric rings will still work, or at least they did on mine...that is if you're using them with your aftermarket rims. I personally would try them, others with more knowledge and experience might object though.

Thanks man. I'll give the 1/4" spacers a try. No harm seeing that I can just bolt them on without changing the studs..
