My stock tires and after market tire/wheel setup on my 2013 rub on the inner fender when turning left. I used a 1/4 inch by 2 inch stainless screw and fender washer to pull the inner fender back to provide clearance for the tire. Looking up from under the inner fender I drilled a hole through the plastic and metal behind it taking care not to hit any of the wires running behind the inner fender. Then screwed it in gaining a additional 3/4 of an inch and eliminated the tire rubbing on the left hand turns.

Well that was a relatively easy fix! Im sure it will help out some other members as well.
What tire/wheel setup do you have?

Stock tires size was P275/60r20. I currently have LT275/65r20 tires with Forte wheels. I went with the LT tires for the 10 ply rating and the fact that the LTs have 25% deeper tread. Both tires rubbed the inner fender.

You can also use a heat gun and a softball to remold the inner finder
