I just bought 4 new tires/rims from DTD and they came in and i JUST finished putting them on. I started pulling out of the driveway and i hear rubbing. OH GOD NO!!

I have a 2001 4runner SR5 2WD
I just bought these. The guy @ DTD said they would be fine and I was researching and asking peoples opinion on these forums and they said they would work as well.

I love the tires and the rims and I just spend like 2 hours putting them on and I really dont wannna take em back off :( not to mention if I have to ship them back ill most likely have to pay for shipping and i feel like i will run into a lot of trouble. It doesn't seem to be rubbing THAT much, just a little inside the wheel well, only on the front 2 when I turn the wheel really sharp. Maybe I can just hack off some of the inside of the wheel well?

It just looks like you may need to do a little trimming. Its hard to see from the pic, but are the tires rubbing the trim or just the bolts that hold the trim on?
If its the bolts, you can replace them with some that have shallower, rounded heads in...they sell those at Lowes really cheap.
If its the flares, just look to see where it is rubbing, and remove that section with a utility knife.
 
Thats what I did. I didn't really wanna cut on anything. My grandpa is good about this kind of stuff and I showed him and he took a crowbar and bent the flap back a bit. No more rubbing. It's still a close fit tho but I think it will be fine.
