Post subject:  Bit of Rear Fender rubbing

Hey Guys,

First of all, it's been a while since I've been around and posted. I'm glad to be back cause this group is awesome!

Secondly, I have a quick question. I went wheeling this past weekend to find out when I'm fairly fully flexed in the rear, the rear tires are rubbing the plastic on the outside lip of the fenderwell. So the wheel isn't tucking all the way up into the wheel well basically and starting to rub a bit on the green fender.

I'm sure this is because my wheel tire combo (moab wheels 16x8/ 245/75R16) is about a quarter inch too wide at the moment to fit all the way up in there.

Question is what are my options... Option 1 is to live with it beacuse it's just plastic and doesn't reeeallly hurt anything.

Option 2: Would putting a couple bumpstop extensions back there raise it just that little bit more to fit or would that help the problem?

Option 3: ...

Thanks!

if you're already runnin pucks in the back for extended bump stop, get another puck and cut it in half long ways and add it

ok a few a few ideas.

1. sell the wheel and buy new ones that fit better.
2. cut the fenders
3. get axtended fenders
4. do the bump stop idea

ok some are better than others
