Hey Guys

Recently put on 295/60R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 20x9 with a +18 offset.

I have some rubbing on something on the inside at full lock on both sides, so I have been avoiding full lock.

I have tried to do some reading and am not completely sure if spacers would help me at all here.

Also is there any real danger to this rubbing at full lock, could this cause the tire to pop over time?

Thanks

Yep 2.5" level kit - When I lock my tires without moving I took a look and didn't see any rub but when I lock to back out of a tight space I can hear it, but do not know exactly where.

look for a clean spot or a shiny spot. without knowing where it is rubbing i don't know if spacers would help or make it worse.

check the end of you sway bar as well at the end of the upper control arm.

Also, how bad is the rubbing? Is is a faint rubbing or aggressive?

Not exactly sure what would be considered aggressive but it isn't exactly faint. I will check later today/tomorrow morning.

Tried to take some pictures this morning at full lock but I was running late for work so they probably are not great / not what you guys need to tell. IMG_5706.jpg IMG_5705.jpg IMG_5707.jpg IMG_5704.jpg

Do these help at all?

when your are at full lock left do you hear the rubbing on the drivers side or passenger side?

I doesn't look like its rubbing the upper control arm. Could be the sway bar, but also could be rubbing on the fender liner

The driver side, and I have had somebody turn the wheel with me on the outside of the truck while it is parked and it did not hit the fender at all.

my guess is it is rubbing somewhere on the inside edge of the tire toward the cab.
