On my 1991 f-150 4x2 I recently changed from the 6 in. wheel to an
aluminum 8 in. wheel I also went from the standard 235r15 tires to
31x10.50 A/T tires. Looks great, but when I make a full turn right or
left the back inside of the tire rubs the radius arms. Other than
getting rid of the tires is there anything to do (fairly
inexpensively) to correct the problem?
Thanks a lot.
jmac

I also have a 1991 F-150 4x4. I have the factory 15"x7.5" aluminum
wheels with 32/11.50R15 BF Goodrich All-Terrains and they too rub the
radius arms, but this doesn't cause and damage or problems. They only
rub when the wheel is turned all the way to the right or left. I have
had them on for 40,000 miles without and significant wear to the tire
> and no damage to the radius arms. Think about it, how often do you turn
the wheel that hard anyway?
