Hi guys...

Now I have the bfg atīs 265 75 16 at my 2001 se xterra. The left tire itīs closer to the mudflap than the right side, check the pics...

web page

I trimmed both sides of the front mudflaps, a little more at the front side of the left mudflap and its still rubbing at hard right turns and pressing the brakes (when turning right without pressing the brakes donīt rub)

what do you think? More trimming? something wrong with the truck? Its already aligned (front tires).

Today Iīll go offroad tho check the tires, with saw at hand... laugh

Trim/shave the inner corner more. I used a block file to shave needed plastic away.

You should be able to run with the flaps but they can get in the way when off-roading so I ran quick discos flex Canadian ones before the upgrade to 33's.

I just trimmed the lip completely off, I found they were just collectors for snow and ice during the winter months.

OK, I can trimm more that flap, or remove all of it (both sides), but my main concern is why one tire is closer to the flap than the other?...
