Just bought a used set of 35's. there bfg mud terrians on 8 lug steel rims off of a chevy, and when i put them on my 12V they made a grinding noise like the brakes where dragin. the rims have some rust but look solid, and the tires werent rubbin? anyone have any ideas

 

How about backspacing on the rims to keep them out of the brakes.

 

yea i would check in behind the brakes to make sure they are clearing everything in there, they might be clearing in behind, but they might be rubbin on the inside of the wheel. another option would be to remount the tires on your orig. wheels, then you know they will fit, and then you know they will be balanced better

 

If your still stock height with these 35's you probably got some tire rub goin on also on the fender wells.

Welcome to the site by the way. Be sure to fill in your signature so we have more info to go on about your truck.

 

we cut the inner fenders and everthing looked like it cleared. the noise only came from the front passenger side rim, i think the rims may just be junk i only payed $450 for the set with 75%-80% tread so i think the deal may have been to good to be true. I would put them on my stock rims but they are 16.5 tires. Thanks for the help guys
