Wheel Spacers?
 
I have 35in tires on my truck and they rub when I take sharp turns. Any ideas on wheel spacers or anything to help with the rubbing? I can't take sharp turns or reverse very easily, it shakes the whole truck and is hard on the motor to reverse. Any ideas are appreciated.

I had 2" spacers that I installed to see what it would look like and my tires never rubbed before. So the spacers made them rub while turning. So more spacing won't work.

you probly need wheels with a different offset to bring the tires in instead of out, Im assuming you are rubbing on your fenders

or you could get a lift kit or maybe smaller tires:w2:

My 35's rubbed the pitman arm because they were on stock Ford 16x7 steel wheels. Try a 1/4" or 5/16" spacer... might be all you need.

I run 2" spacers now with 3rd gen wheels. Takes the backspace down to a more 'normal' 4". Only running 33" though.

I have hummer H2 rims, rubs on the steering bar. If I bought the crossover steering kit it wouldn't rub. I found this out when a friend of mine sin stalled crossover steering on his first gen.
