    Any help tryed make ing a post sorry if it not where it goes
    OK I bought these wheels from bbwheelsonline.com I called before placing the order to verify they would fit the guy said he would call the manufacturer to make sure and call me back but she did and they said they would fit . Do you do a dry fit before put the tires on I did this on the drivers front and it fits fine. so I ordered them . Then I ordered cooper discovery Sst 315 x70 R 17‘s .... all have plenty of Clarence other than the passenger side tie rod and rubs on the rim .. I thought it may be a defective rim so this morning after talking to bbwheels they Suggested I swap one rim and see if is the wheels ... first what I did was took the passengers rear wheel off and put on the front passenger side at touched in one spot but still not enough Clarence to be comfortable with .... then I thought well the drivers side front had plenty of clearance at the tie rod and so I tried the driver side on the passenger side and it would not even fit and allow it to turn so this is puzzling to me ...I will try and post the pictures below it seems to only let me upload one and the rims are listed below any help would be greatly appreciated
    #69 #70#71 pics goes with this post couldn’t get pics to post here sorry

    And has 6” lift tires don’t rub ..it’s the the tie rod end rub on rim just on right side ?

    Rubbing at that size is pretty common. How much lift are you on?

    You have a 6” lift that replaces the spindles, and flips the tie rods from bottom to top, your wheels won’t work. Your lift kit more than likely came with wheel specs, check it out.

    Most 6" lifts require a minimum of a 18" wheel. I have not come across a 6" lift that will actually accommodate a 17" wheel.

    Or pick a different wheel and keep 18s so you can run 35×11.5 285/75/18....

    I want to try to be as least invasive as possible on the truck. I don’t want to replace the upper control arms, or do the cab mount chop. I love the look of the SCS rims, but I hate the silver bead lock shit. SCS will not do anything with it and they told me to take the bolts out myself and have them powder coated. I feel like if I am spending almost $1200 on rims they should come the way I want them. Icon will replace the bolts with color match to the rim, and Icon rims are pretty much made for Tundra’s, like SCS. Icons are easier on the purse strings, and since I like more rubbber and less rim, it just works.

    Yeah I don't want 20's, I like more rubber than rim. Going to stay in the 17-18 range.

    I can try and take a pic tommorow I’m running method NVs 18 inch with 295/70/18s and my neighbor has a Silverado with method NVs on 17 inch rims with 35s. There def more sidewall with the 17 but 18s still look good in my opinion.
