I got my RTR Tech 6 rims installed today (265/70/R17 with 0 offset). They look absolutely amazing and really compliment the RTR fender flares, however, I have rubbing on only the passenger side. What is the best way to deal with this? I don’t want to cut the crash bars.

You have to cut the crash bars! Or maybe with that tire size idk if you put a level on your truck.

I personally have a 0 offset icon wheel and 285/70 and had to cut mine with a 2.5" bilstein level

Truck is leveled with the Ford Performance Fox 2.0 kit. I heard that you may be able to move the crash bars, but I couldnt find a good forum on it.

You can just loosen the bolts that hold them in, push it for as much clearance as you can get and then tighten them back up. You could possibly get 1/4 inch..... or none.

Problem solved! There’s 2 15mm blots and all I did was loosen them and push the crash bar a little as you said and it gave me enough clearance. Took maybe 5 mins. No more rubbing! Thank you for the tip
