285 55 20 KO's rubbing w/spacers

Hi all,
I purchased some Toyota TSS rims with BF Goodrich KO's and put 1.25" spacers on
and they're rubbing in reverse over 1/2 turn. These were supposed to be fine on the stock
truck but apparently not with spacers. Can anyone give any information on whether they will rub after I install an OME suspension lift?
thanks
Frank

 

With tss wheels, that puts your offset +18.25, where are you rubbing? Bumper, body mount? Remove all front mud flaps?

 

I'm rubbing on the small front mudflaps on the front side in reverse.

 

Remove them. I'm running 33x12.50x18 on +12 offset, no lift. I rubbed on them, removed them and added 1/2" bumper spacer, no more rubbing

 

Wondering why the spacers as they are not needed?
Running 285/65/20 KO2s on TSS.

 

Well, Not sure but mine are just even with the fender flares. not really sticking out or anything.
Just felt it looked way better. It looks like yours is lifted. Mine is not yet.

 

Any pictures Frank?

 

Front mud flaps removed, 1/2" bumper shim 33x12.50x18 +12 offset, no rubbing, no cutting, pic is before the bumper shim

 

Some people have heated the flap and liner with a heat gun and molded it foward will it was hot. Others have just removed the flaps.

 

I ran that exact size tire without rubbing. Unless you have a good reason for the spacer I would remove it. I removed some plastics when I put on my 285/65/20s. I do have 1" spacers now with that larger diameter tire due to worries about hitting the UCA.

 

I'm planning on installing a 3/1 Old man emu lift, I'm wondering if that will solve it. It only rubs on the inside of the front flap on right while turning left and inside front flap on drivers side while turning right.

 

Gotcha. Understandable with the flares. Looks good. Mine has no flares and is evenish.

 

Would someone please explain the purpose of bumper shims here

 

They push the front bumper forward.....usually half an inch to clear more room so you're not rubbing.... or as much

 

I had the same issue after spacers. Removing the front flaps took less than 5 minutes, and fixed the problem.

 

Thank you, first day on site, negotiating search bar.

 

Would SPC upper control arms allow something like this to be fixed? You know...pushing the tire forward to prevent the rubbing.
