possible to move a wheel forward a bit?

[DanDLT]

my new revos are great but the front left is rubbing on the mudflap... it looks farther back than the passenger side
can this be adjusted to move the front wheel forward a bit so i dont rub the mudflap?
i can tell by looking at it, id have to trim off alot so it dont rub
its only the front left.
i have the wheel adapters on..

You cant move wheel forward enough to fix your problem without some major rebuilding. I'd suggest to take mud flaps out and see if that helps, if it does and you still need some flaps for off roading, get some flat ones like this:

DanDLT, I'm trying to determine from your other pic thread if they installed a bigger tire for your driver/front. I know it sounds really crazy and please don't take any offense, but are you sure they installed a 265/65/R17 and not a 265/70/R17? Stock size should not rub. Tire shops do screw up from time to time. I'm just throwing it out there. I find it suspect that your original stock tire (I assume) didn't rub in the driver's front wheel well. I'm trying to see from your pics, but it's hard to read the side wall for any indication. I'm also looking at your side profile pic and comparing the driver's rear to the front. I may be going crazy but the front looks a bit bigger than the back. On the other hand, that may just be due to slight parallax as the shot may not be perfectly viewed perpendicularly.

Ok, so I took your photos and through my lame ass attempt to try and read the tires sizes I inverted the colors (like in astronomy - sometimes it's easier to spot a faint detail if the inverted image is scrutinized instead). I got nothing. However, I do see the slight difference (albeit different viewing angles) in the distance relative to the mud flaps. The right side is on top, driver's side on the bottom. That is certainly strange. Well so much for my Fisher Price scientific method.

Edit: I just re-read your post and didn't realize you had adapters on. Hmmm...

thanks for trying.. yes im sure they are 265 65 17 all way round
even the dunlop rubbed in the same spot..
yep its the wheel spacers..
ill probally just leave the front driver side mudflap off,....

How does it drive, any pulling to a certain side, does it track straight? I'm thinking it may be a wheel alignment issue, specifically incorrect caster angles. Many places offer a free alignment check.

nope it drives perfect.. straight line no vibration..
cant tell if the fender is too far forward or the wheel is too far back..
is there anything that can be adjusted?

I would have to be something odd to rub , I have 265/70 Revos and they never hit , I've tried , and nothing ! they are an inch taller than yours.

Congrats on the new rubber.

How come you didn't up size to a bigger & cheaper tire with the 70 series ?

As said earlier, it can be adjusted by an alignment shop, just not sure how much. Do you have another driver who may have parked hard into a curb and moved something?
You can measure a few things yourself. Get somebody to help you compare left to right side wheelbase length with a tape measure (centres of front wheel to rear wheel) and wheel position relative to a fixed point on the body (ie. centre of front wheels to rear of front doors.) Also compare this to a new truck on a stealership lot.

was actually gonna go with the toyos 275/60
but decided it was already too hard/bumpy ride didnt wanna make it worse..
didnt wanna go with bigger either, never offroad and didnt wanna mess up my gas mileage..
i think its just the wheel spacers that is making it rub..
no biggy, i have the mudflap off and its fine..
its just a little less gap than the other side.. and the spacers put it right there where it rubs..
maybe ill have toyota take a look at it..
it just may be the way it came out of the shop...
maybe ill post pics of both sides...
thanks everyone for lookin at this
