    I recently purchased the new Nitto Ridgegrapplers and they are .5 inch wider and about .5 inch taller than my old BFG MTs. I love the tires but am rubbing on the plastic in a couple spots on good bumps or front articulation. I have a CMC and have done a fair bit of trimming. Will Bushwacker's fix this. Are there any other options?

    Fender flares wont get rid of tire rub. Your tires probably are rubbing down towards the bottom. The fender flares just replace the factory flares with a slightly wider one to cover any tire/tread that sticks out beyond the truck.

    Other options are a wheel with less offset, so they are further away from the truck. A lift will help, if you don't have one.

    I was afraid of that! I am lifted on Kings so maybe I will try cranking them up another .5 inches and see if that helps. Thanks!
