Hey all,

2018 ram 1500 express quad cab, i put a 4” CST lift on it, 35x12.5x20 AT’s on the stock 20’s with 1.5” Bora spacers.

A bit before full lock both left and right I am rubbing. I’ve read a million posts and have scoured the “lifted on stock rims” thread and it seems I should have no rubbing issues at all.

Any suggestions?

While you are on stock wheels, the spacers take them from +19 to -19 offset ... Pretty sure that’s where your rubbing is coming from

Damn; I was hoping that wasn’t it...I liked where they sat. Oh well, off they come.

Thanks!

Well, not so fast ... It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out the rub ... May just be a slight fender liner trim to fix ... Your other issue that may or may not pop up, depending on the tire, is those 12.50’s may hit suspension parts with no spacer at all ... Sorry for the ****** news

I assume this is a 2wd, if it rubs at the fender you can probably just do some trimming

Post a pic of the tire and where it's rubbing. Easy fix
