285's rub in full turn

What is the best way to get rid of the rubbing with the 285's in a full turn? I have heard you can use ATS A arms but was wondering if there is a cheaper solution?

Pound away on the fender linings and pinch weld is the easiest way I think...wait for others to respond but I think thats what they'll tell you to do.

Where are you rubbing? You might try a hammer to the pinch weld, because that is where a lot of guys rub. The ATS arms prevent rubbing on the arms themselves not necessarily anything in the wheel-well. If you have flares you might try trimming those as well.

Another thing

Jonathon, what I did was take a look at where it actually was rubbing. On mine, it was rubbing on the mudflaps, so I just took a saw to them. Easy fix, and it really wasn't that much that I cut out to get the rubbing to stop. I also added 1" spacers. Just lock the steering wheel in full turn and then check out where it's hitting, then cut that part off.

I don't have that problem anymore. after you have them on there a while it goes away. Things get worn down or you end up beating the pinch weld.
