255/85/16 rubbing issues???

[Andrew Costa]

I just installed 3 inch lift on 97 4runner limited and installed 255/85/16 Maxxis bighorns and I have great clearance but it rubs frame when I turn hard left but it does not rub when I turn hard right. Does anyone no why this is?????? Truck drives great on and off road and does not pull at all.

Your wheel backspacing is why it rubs.

Anyone else gave this issue? I do gave the factory wheels. What can I do to correct this issue?

Wheel Spacers will push your wheels farther outwards and farther away from the frame. That should clear up any rubbing issues you have.

Wheel Spacers will push your wheels farther outwards and farther away from the frame. That should clear up any rubbing issues you have.

But the further out the wheel is, the more prone it is to rub on the fenders due to the increased arc of the wheels when turning. Usually the rear of the front fenders/pinch weld/firewall.

Why is it rubbing on one side and not the other? Could be that the steering stops aren't adjusted the same. Or the steering rack isn't centered and bottoms out before it rubs on the one side.

A simple no cost cure is to adjust the steering stop on the one side. Or ignore the rub and when it does, turn back a touch. The rubbing isn't going to cause damage.

Gerdo. It is not a serious rub by any means but it is annoying. How do adjust the steering stops?thanks

If I center the steering rack do you guys think this will fix my frame rubbing problem?
