No mate, once I had bashed it about it was fine.

i take it you are on about the bolt in the 2nd to last pic.I have trimmed the valance and arch a bit and the tyre now clears that

I cut the bulgy bit off the mudflap off to clear Linda's 33's, lose the bolt and gently hammer the lip back. You can still have the inner arch liner, but I ditched ours.

going to have the full alignment done at midday so will get the hammer out when i get home.

i seemed to have eliminated the rubbing problem for the time by trimming a bit more from the front of the wheel arch.There is still a bit of rubbing when the truck leans to one side when corning sharply but i'll get that sorted again as i'll not corner so sharp in future

What offset are those wheels Rich? I was looking at various today. Orig surf alloys -8mm, my 265/75-16s are -3mm, and the ones I've just bought are -32mm. Just wondering whether I'm gonna need a big or small hammer...

I'm guessing that more neg is necessary the wider you go (to a certain extent) as they wont protrude too far (13.5" width) so I wont need to add too much polypropylene sheet extension to the arch!

Anyway, we'll know next tuesday.

Nce one Richard. I had the same rubbing issues as you and my off set on my rims are quite big. Took off the liner bit cut the sill bit and bent it back a bit. No more rubbing. Mine were also rubbing on the bumper as well so cut away an angled bit from the end cap. Later on i removed the bottom valance bit anyway and threw the butchered end caps away. Go on,you know you want to.

So no comments on offset then?

Sorry Andy i forgot all about it.i dont know what offset it is but i'll have a look and see if its on the rims tomorrow and get back to you.I did go out earlier to have a look and done something else instead

No worries mate. I expect they are more than -20ish if they stick out that much though, from what I've been able to work out so far.

Small Print - I am probably wrong!

Got a feeling the offset was in one of the threads when tony had them delivered, could've been the kids waiting for santa one.

thx nero that'll save me going out for a look now

OK, so if the ones I've ordered are -32 (or -38, cant remember) it will be like adding 20mm to 26mm spacers I think.

Might need the larger hammer...
