Default Rear inner fender
What has everyone done about the inner fender on the passenger side rear when going to larger tires? I have 35's and it wants to hit the inner at the seam in the back. Aside from major bumpstops any ideas? I've even added 2 inch spacers to the bumpstops and it still hits.

You can either hammer the seam flat or add wheel spacers. OR get wheels with more offset.

It rubs at the rear of the tire in the rear of the wheelwell. It doesn't rub on the inside part of the tire.

I'm assuming with 35s on it, it's lifted quite a bit. If it's only hitting on the one side, check your track bar for proper axle lateral alignment.

It only has a 3 inch lift. Trac bar would account for side to side. That is fine. It's the rear of the tire that is hitting.

If it's only the one side, IDK what to tell you.
