Exclamation Tire rub question

I put some 315 on my rear end. Now when I turn into a sharp curve my tires rub. I heard that I can beat in my fenderwells but how do I do it without messing anything up?

use a hammer and start pounding, look where its rubbing, if you knock off the undercoating , just go to you local parts store and buy some more. If its not rubbing much.. you can buy some wheel spacers...1/4" and use the lug nuts with the shank. I had to do both of these things for my 315/30/18 BFGs DR. it works!

...and if you're lowered any you'll need an adjustable panhard bar to center the rearend. It took that and some pretty heavy beating on the inner fenderwell to get my 315's to fit.

Yea you deinately need a PHR, to center the axle after getting large tires. Many people have good luck and after the axle is centered the tires don't rub.
