This seems like a stupid questions. I am new to the forum but have been looking around for quite some time. My wife drives a 2003 Sport V6 with 166k that drives like a champ. Trying to bling it out I upgrade the wheels and now we are having an issue with rubbing. It looks to me like it is just the mud flap (so i say take them off) but she likes them and wants to know what else can be done to keep both them and the new wheels. It is a stock rig except for the wheels. They are 17x9 Raceline Raptors with 0 back spacing wrapped with 265/70/17 Dean SXT Mud Tires. Seeing that we have 166K miles on it not sure if that matters but I was wondering if new coils and shocks might help? Thanks for your help on this if I cant get something figured out she says the wheels got to go.
Why cant it be easy?

There is nothing wrong with the wheels themselves, you should have stuck with the stock tire size if you didn't want to deal with rubbing or trimming/removal/modification. Just swap the tires for 265/65/17 and it will be fine

Don't worry, the tire will wear through the plastic pretty quickly and then there won't be any more rubbing.
