Ok, so i got a set of 305's off of my buddy that is selling his '01. Set of 305 Mud Terrain's, 50%-60% tread with offset alluminum wheels for $400. anyways, i need to level it to get rid of some rubbing during tighter turns. So my issue is, at low speed 0-15 mph i can hear a chirp out of my left front that sounds like something rubbing at some point during the tire/wheel's revolution. I cant find what is rubbing or causing this. The wheel is seated tight and flat, there is clearance to the caliper. (17" Wheel) for the life of me i cannot find it. Did not happen until after about 50 miles after i put them on the truck. Any ideas?

 

how are your brake pads might be the sqwuel tab letting you know your brakes need to be replaced

 

i checked them when i had wheels off and they are good to go. Its not a high pitch like a squealer, its more of a rubbing/contact of some sort

 

Could the offset be causing the tires to rub on any brake lines.

 

Axle joint will squeak.

 

Did you jack truck up with wheels mounted and wiggle them in and out? Could be the start of a hub-gone-bad... thatd be that "rubbing" sound you describe, eventually it will grind.

 

i'm going to jack it back up tonight and pull and wiggle, probably take them back off until i get leveling kit and see if i still have issue w/ stock wheels back on it. i checked clearances of everything when i put them on and saw no issues, they came off of a truck identical to mine other than the 2" leveling spacer and he had no issues. Its always somethin, haha

 

Did your buddy have any issues with the tires squeaking? Or was it just when they were installed on your truck?
