Default Tires rub frame when turning
I put 33's on my 1500 and when I try to make sharp turns my front tires rub the frame. I'm not sure on how to fix this. Please let me know what to do

You need to get some rims with a different off set.

I'm running this wheel on my Ram 2500 and the same size tire and not having any frame rub at all:

The wheel has 4 inch backspacing.

i also think its pretty impossible to get frame rub on these trucks... its probably control arm rub. therefore, wheel spacers, or different wheels with a smaller offset would work.

whoops I kinda let the frame part slip past my mind lol....unless the bottom of his frame is hitting the tires, then the spares might be of help(although unlikely)
