Tire rub, what now??

Arena30 said:

So Friday I just put a set of 295/65-20 Toyo open country at3’s on my 2020 ram 2500 bighorn blacked out edition. I mounted them on the stock wheels and now the front tires rub. On the drivers side it rubs the lower control arm just a little and on the passenger side it rubs the sway bar pretty good at full lock. So what are my options for this, never had to deal with this situation before. Any help would be appreciated.

The best & cheapest fix is to sneak the hair dryer out of the house
Or if you have a Heat Gun, it will cause less stress in the house hold.

Heat up your inner fender & use a mallet, wood, plastic or rubber to shape the inner fender, so that the tire does not rub any more
