Just my luck, got my 20's today, did Dueler H/L Alenza in 275/55r20 and all is good except front right when turned one rotation to right or more. That is my only point that I rub. I have two other spots I clear by a 1/4". Debating if I should just use the 30 day satisfaction gaurantee and go with the 265/50r20 or just figure out how to make them work. Love the look of the little bigger tire and sidewall.

My suggestion is to get tires that fit.

I have room to push the fabric liner back, if I can secure it with something. Only issue is with Front right tire turned right. Question is, how much room should I really have to be safe from rubbing, I can get 1/4" or more, but is that enough? Tire should move up and down and not front to back, but if something causes a slight movement front and back I would hate to rub on the frame or what ever is behind the liner.
I can always call and have them get me 265/50r20, however I like the little aggressive look and the only tire I can find that would work is a Terra Grappler, and not sure if that would be to much.

So is there a way to maybe zip tie that fender-well back a little bit so that it doesn't rub? And yeah i would think 1/4 inch would be plenty of room if you have it at full lock.

Funny you should mention that. I just got back to my pc after making a small cut and pulling it back with a zip tie to the frame. So I now have a hair over 1/4". So as long as nothing you do makes the tire move front to back (back and forth) instead of just up and down I should be ok. I pretty much got it pulled back as much as possible.Name:  photo.jpg

I pretty much pulled the liner back as much as it could go. Now my last question is will heave snow be a problem since it doesn't have much room. Or is snow not an issue.

The point of contact was actually at about a 1.5 rotations of the steering wheel. 1.75 is or a little more was full lockout.
