Trailhunter with 35s Rubbing (Need Help)

[stuckinsocal]

I don't know man, I think you may have too little offset. Stock TRD OR wheels are +55. The more your tire sticks out, the bigger arc it has to go through when turning. Take a look at the below videos for real world fitting of 35s. It's close, but they technically don't rub on a +55 wheel. That said, maybe the hybrid adds something and I'm completely wrong about your application.

Everything is good now. I rerouted the sway bar disconnect wire above the frame and removed that bracket. I have no rubbing full lock forward and reverse even when hitting bumps and the brakes.

I will hit the trails this weekend and see how it does off-road flexed out

Out of curiosity, did you have to remove the crash bracket behind the front wheels to get it to fit?

Also Id love to see some pics with the new wheels!

Nope, still have about a half inch of clearance even at lock. No rubbing on the road, but not sure if it's enough to clear when off-road. I will test that this weekend.

I'm curious how did this play out in the wild?

Sorry for the late reply; I didn't go out yesterday due to the rain here in SoCal. When out today and did some easy - moderate trails. In a few areas, I was fully flexed out and made it a point to steer lock to lock, with no rubbing.

When angled just right, the clearance between the tire and the crash pad is extremely tight, about a finger's width, but it never rubs.

I just installed Method 703s 17x8.5 +35 offset with Falken Wildpeaks AT4W 35x11.5 R17. The driver's side tire is rubbing on a bracket when at full lock, and I hit a dip or press the brakes hard. Has anyone experienced this, and what was your solution?

Can I ask where you bought your wheels and tires? Tire Rack doesn’t seem to be a good option for this size. Thanks
