33" tires with mud flaps - looking for advice

Hello!!

I am new to the forum, and appreciate the posts I’ve read so far.

I did not see any posts on this, so though I’d throw it out there.

2009 Tundra SR5 double cab with 3/2 level and stock Toyota 18” mags with 33” BFG A/T KO2 (275 70 R18). The OEM mud flaps are still installed.

With stock mags (I believe 60mm offset) I’m way inside the fender, and there’s 0 rubbing.

I want to keep my mud flaps and eventually get new mags with somewhere around +18mm to +20mm offset.

My question is, will the +18mm to +20mm rub the mud flaps with 275 70 R18 tires?
If yes, what is the most offset I can get and not have a rub on the mud flaps?

Thanks!!

 

No, they will not rub.

 

No they won't. As long as u keep that offset

 

I used to run that size tire with +25 offset, and they rubbed the front little mud flap when turning in reverse. They didn't rub the mud flap behind the tire, though.

 

Welcome from NorCal

 

Welcome from eastern CO! I’d be very surprised if they rub.

 

Thanks for the welcome and replies!!

Does anyone have truck pictures with aftermarket rims with an offset and 275 70 18 (preferably with the mudflaps)

My truck has a 2” lift with 275/70/18 and +25mm offset and they rubbed the rear front mud flaps. Could be though that yours being 3” up front may not.

Sorry these pictures don’t show much but they are the only ones I have with the mud flaps on. I can show you some without if that helps.

 

Leveled with 33" It looks like it is touching the front flap but really just missing it. It will rub very slightly in revers.

 

Hi Equin, What did you do to get rid of the rubbing when in reverse? Thanks

 

The rubbing wasn’t that bad, so I lived with it. Over time, as the tread wore down bit by bit, the rubbing diminished but never really went away. I eventually removed the little front flaps altogether and that got rid of the rubbing completely.

 

I can hardly turn wheel in reverse without terrible rubbing. Reading all the threads I thought I was good with 5100s on middle ring and only 33s.
I’m thinking CB bumper spacers or trying to push plastic into bumper away from tire.

 

CB bumper spacers will work.
OR
you can re drill some holes in the plastic push it forward and bolt em back up. should give ya a little more clearance.
