Stock 17s & BFGs - rubbing on front inner wheel well

Anyone else have the issue of your front tires rubbing at times with the stock 17" with BFGs? I recently got an alignment & castor adjustment and it has gotten better, although it still does it at times. I noticed the inner wheel well splash guard is flimsy & not mounted well, does anyone have a fix for this?

Thanks!

My 2011 rubber with stock wheels and tires. My 2013 does not have an issue. Have you confirmed all attachment points are correctly installed?

Did you install mud flaps?

Yup. Zip tie it down. It pushes in on the highway then when you make a turn, it will rub.

OK, I'll get some beefy zip ties, cut slits in the fenderwell, and then zip tie it to something suitable. Thanks.

OH, and I do not have mud flaps... i thought those were for Tundras & Tacomas!

You'd be amazed how much crap gets flung at the door handles and steps. A fair amount of is run front flaps.

My passenger one snagged over the whoops at Dove springs once. pulled the old one out since it was hanging and jacked. Got a free one from Tizzle and took it to ford and said it fell out on the freeway Warranty fix

Check out you lca position. Had my truck aligned today and they did a shot job. Now any turn in direction and my tires rub on the liners. Had to pull the mud flaps to get home.


Upon inspection front mount is all the way outboard, rear is all the way inboard pushing the wheel rearward in the opening. And my camber is all jacked. It'll be going back.

I had a problem with both of my front tires rubbing on the inner fenders of my '12. The inner fender had a little lip on the front that hung down, and my tires kept catching on it. It got to the point were I had my dealer replace my passenger side inner fender under warranty, but it did not help.

Prior to the TRR I took a Dremel and cut the lip off even with the rest of the inner fender. Since then my stock tires have not caught the inner fenders.
