    Recently put new tires on my 2020 4 runner :BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tire (32" - 275/70R17) and a rough country 2 inch lift. Took it in to get a tire alignment & I immediately notice the front tire was rubbing on the bumper when backing out. I didn't hear any rub from the rear - how can I fix this? Should I go 3 inch lift? I would like to prevent viper cut and I really want to keep my new tires. Pictures and link for reference. Please help!Image.jpg 222.jpg

    Just trim that little corner like the TRD Pro gets done.

    A utility knife and a fender liner adjustment should be all it takes.

    Also too little offset on those Method wheels. Might not rub with the oem wheels.

    Not that this will be any help, but this is exactly why I hate the 275/70 tire size. Big enough to rub, not big enough to notice the difference between these and the OEM size.

    (I understand if you, the reader of my comment CAN see a difference.)

    Absolutely no rubbing off Roeding and I put it to the test not overly abusive test but hard turns left and right up and over berms absolutely no rubbing. I hope this helps. lastly, I use the Dremel to make the cut.

    @wyldrr89 did you happen to get new wheels at the same time as those tires?

    Crazy part about it, went with the 275 because I was trying to avoid trimming or viper cut. And if I have to have to trim should of just went with the bigger size

    Also just found out I have 1 inch clearance on the right side with no rub... how does that even make sense at this point?
