Cant u trim the plastic wheel well a lil? Thats what us 4x4 guys do to make tires fit. I dont mean hack, I mean nicely shape the plastic to clear, but give it a factory look, take your time, file, ect.

depends where he's rubbing at. If he's rubbing where I rubbed at, the only option he has is to completely remove the inner fender.

Your truck has a really nice stance Tyler...how bad is it rubbing? Is it rubbing during normal driving or only in parking lots on sharp turns? It would be nice to maintain the current ride height and wheel and tire combo if possible IMO.

Some mechanics wire or a strategically placed big black zip tie...it isn't worth it to ruin the stance of that truck. I have a similar issue on tight turns with mine...I just try not to turn so tightly lol.
