Hi all I recently put a set of 265/75/16 handcook mud tyers on a zero offset rim, and I'm getting a far but if rubbing? I also just installed an 50mm OME lift kit at the same time, all of the rubbing is on the mud flap and at the end of the steering lock. It's that bad I have had to take my mud flaps off, did I get the right offset?

Thanks for any help
Chris

The offset for the 90 should be +15

0 offset is a nice choice with those tyres but yes it can cause rubbing at the front mudguard when turning. There are a few solutions...
1) Remove mudflap and cut back body seam if required.
2) Modify mudflap with a heatgun
3) Have an alignment performed and request the LCA be adjusted forward. This effects caster of course but it is manageable.
4) Purchase an aftermarket UCA such as the Light Racing UCA I have installed on my vehicle. It allows me to move the upper ball joint forward, which in combination with angling the LCA forward, results in the entire wheels relocated forward with good caster angles.
5) Use standard offset rims, +15.
