stock tires seem to be rubbing on full wheel lock to the right...

[Rollin Thunder]

why would the STOCK wheels do this, it only rubs on a right turn and only if im moving foward. hmm.

the stocks on here are those upgraded 20" crome wheels, could that be causeing the issue???

any imput is greatly appreciated.

Take it back to the dealer.... you just picked it up.

I saw something on one of the other threads about some stock bushings wearing out really fast. I believe yours is a demo, so may be worth letting them check it out.

I love the turning radius of these trucks!

What's the aspect ratio and width of the tires?
Just because they're 20" rims doesn't mean that some tires wont rub

Could be something else...as those are OEM on there, should be zero fitment irregularities.

He said the truck was brand new with the stock tires.... That should not be a problem.

Now, if he lifted it like it says he will, that is another story.

On the side of the tire there are numbers that will say something like:

285/75 r20

The 285 is the width of the tire
The 75 is the aspect ratio, it is the height of the tire as a percentage of the tires width.
The r20 tells you what rim size the tire is for.

It is possible that the tires were not quite stock. There is very little room for the stock 20" tire as it is. If the tires were ever changed for some reason and that aspect ratio is only 5 more then I would believe it could rub when making a turn, especially if something else was going on in the suspension.

If you tell me those numbers I'll tell you if the tire size is a problem.

The stock 20 is a 275/55, that leaves enough room.

ok so as beach109 pointed it it may be somthing else. hmm now what could it be i wonder.

Could be a bushing, ball joint, tie rod, bad coil spring, loose nut...
Possibly the alignment. Piece of plastic in the wheel well could be loose.
