    Yea, use the search function on the forum. You’ll see how common this is and how to fix it.
    I bet you didn’t even try.

    edit: welcome to the forum.

    Welcome! I'm battling the rub right now too. Take a look inside the wheel wells and see if you can find where the rubs are happening, and then start trimming. Check this link for help:

    Sorry! I wasn't sure! I'm new to this whole modification of a vehicle and to the forum thing. I will definitely take a look around!

    What wheels do you have?

    When you say you added spacers, I'm assuming wheel spacers? If so, wheel spacers increase the chance you'll rub.

    You would probably benefit from doing the fender liner mod. Search for that and you'll find some instructions on how to complete it. It's really easy. You might also need to remove your mudflaps and/or do a body mount chop.

    Would help more if we knew what rim and tire size your running.

    What size tires? Also, what wheels? Sometimes a fender liner adjustment will fix it. Sometimes you need to trim.

    What are your alignment specs?

    Oh, yeah.. Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin!
