Super B. You do a great job of 'filming', lighting, describing, editing AND entertaining...guess that's why you have such a following. Thanks for another helpful vid.

[@NunyaBusiness709]

This is some solid advice. I appreciate the knowledge. Much more realistic and professional looking. Thank you very much.

[@dennisbis1]

Dude thanks I never would have thought of doing it like this. Awesome

[@ozzstars_cars]

That's an easy enough fix nicely done.

[@monetsengnalivong6471]

Definitely help me out gonna do this when I’m off work just got some 305/60r18 nitto with some new vision turbine rims

[@sjs2657g]

You also could shove a piece of lumber [2x3 or 1x4] between the tire and the plastic piece as a spacer. It would give uniformity to the job [and free up some time].

[@fernee909]

Great video , did this a few months ago but it still rubs , a lot less but have to re do

[@Nashscarport]

What size tires do you have on your truck? And is it lifted or leveled? Thanks

[@Kmerrihue]

Great idea. Lifted my Ram and have rubbing didn’t want to cut it up. Thanks!

[@mark7645]

Informative and funny . Awesome video

[@DylanRabier]

Nice fix cowboy 👍

[@natgilson]

Awesome fix. Thanks for taking the time to post.

[@JimmyDean1992]

Perfect tool!

[@daviddyogi8279]

Thanks for the video...good idea i can do!!

[@StorytimewithTay]

What was that little metal tool called?

[@k.padraigokane1472]

Will this work on a F150 2000 too?

[@wbball15]

Poke SUBSCRIBE right in the face Love the content, Brian. Keep it up and have a great spring.

[@asher4237]

I got 305 70 r16 on my stock 93 chevy z71 and they run like that to thank you very much👍

[@jackkuykendall942]

Do they make a bolt on stop to keep from truning

[@AimForTheBushes908]

I have the same tires on mine, love em.

[@airriflepower]

Thank you!

[@shaquanagary6911]

What'll happen if you drive with the rubbing for a while? Im in a rental

[@bigbo7632]

I used a heat gun to soften the plastic wheel liner a piece of cardboard between wheel and liner then turned wheel into liner to take shape of wheel let cool.

[@christianjeffers6538]

I have a question that maybe someone here could help me with... I put 265/75R16s on my truck and before I had 245/75R16s now the back side of the front driver side tire scrubs on the frame when I turn all the way left however the passenger side tire does not scrub when I turn right! Does anyone know why that is?

[@wyattoneable]

Minimal intrusion with maximum effect! Nicely completed.

[@ngarci8040]

Good helpful vid…!

[@bryce817]

What if the tire rubs on the white part of the frame at the bottom

[@mikealsip8832]

Same problem I just got 33s I cat turn without rubbing

[@BurtBowers]

Solution to all fenders that tires rub on is all auto manufactures need to make fenders larger muxh more rounded out being majority people put bigger wheels on their trucks & wind up cutting fenders & getting body & suspension lifts.

[@e.a.r.9155]

Thank You SIR..👍 ...was bout to just CUT IT ALL OUT...! ha My wife's gonna think I'm out there tweekin.. lol

[@cjlcorndog7271]

Lmao!!!

[@bobgwinn5091]

cool video

[@SirThunderPants]

You Rock. That is all.

[@cjlcorndog7271]

Can any one give an approximation of how much clearance this will give you?

[@peipaulT]

Nice!!

[@TikiShootah]

nice, and super cheap..well if you have heatgun or torch on hand.

[@iColonicsss]

Thanks brodiee

[@ctso213]

I have a 2015 kia optima car. My car is making that same sound, when im driving. Its annoying! I looked myself and the black cover above the tires is hanging low and rubbing against the tire. Would you say that is missing a bolt or something? Would it be bad just to rip the whole cover thing off?

[@arnemaeschaelck5012]

Yes, don't rip it off! It could definitely be a screw that came loose / rusted away. Look for any holes where the screw may have been, and just screw it back into place :)

[@jerryhernandez5122]

Cool hat dude

[@leol1682]

Like the video Brian .

[@NeilKudro]

Would a sludge hammer work?

[@mindthependulum6245]

FLAMING JAZZ HANDS!

[@joestreetglider]

I just installed 2” hubcentric wheel spacers on my Ram 1500. I have noticeable rubbing, is trimming not a good idea or doing it your way better?

[@SpeeeedyG]

Cutting is the only way to go. My experience with it is you cut it rubs, you cut it rubs, keep repeating until you have little to know rubs

[@joestreetglider]

@@SpeeeedyG I’m confused. Are you saying to cut the plastic instead of doing it your way in this video?

[@SpeeeedyG]

@@joestreetglider bro read the first line in the my last comment. Cut it.

[@jiujitsu290]

I knew there was an easy fix someone came up with that the first time,I wonder who the first crazy bastard was that thought riding a bull was a good idea..love and respect ...

[@TheSnowWolf1000]

Omg I to am having problems because of my k02's and extenders on my white Dodge truck

[@Metalheadmike1211]

I think I’m having this problem or I need a new hub bearing

[@StorytimewithTay]

Can I use a grill lighter?

[@awesomeattic]

You could, but itd take a while

[@anglegrinder]

My car rubs on the inner fender when fully cranked right, but only on the right wheel, would an alignment fix this?

[@TikiShootah]

Take it to a shop, imo you would have to be 100% sure its the fender thats rubbing. Otherwise Its most likely a slightly bent break rotor,ect.

[@briansmobile1]

Probably not. It's more likely the splash guard is loose if it's black plastic. If it's rubbing on metal it may need an adjustment to a limit bolt. Not knowing what car it is I have to shotgun guess diagnose it. If it's a front wheel drive car that's rubbing a metal inner fender and there are no other adjustments it COULD be a tow setting that's compensating for a crooked steering wheel install job.

[@dorjiwangdi1644]

Why front left side of my tire is rubbing against fender, while right side does not.

[@justinferguson507]

Did u ever find out? Mines the same

[@archerbaca1572]

@@justinferguson507 have you ever found out 😂mine is on the right side but i dont know how to fix it

[@klc317]

All Kinds of Gains!!

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

What, no 8 inch body or suspension lift?

[@briansmobile1]

Yeah, I don't need the bed of the truck 8" higher and I've got all the ground clearance I was looking for. Great question though.

[@theadventuresofjavier8698]

briansmobile1 it was said with tounge and cheek.one mod leads to another then the next thing you know you're family and friends are calling you a red neck Mexican with a sky high f250! Not that it happened to me. But my God it was beautiful 😍

Me + fire + truck = 🚒🚒🚒

[@NebukedNezzer]

why not stick to reasonable size tires?

[@wbball15]

NebukedNezzer How?

[@NebukedNezzer]

On my truck I have one size above stock and they fit fine no problems. its easy. just ask at the tire store. "what size fits my vehicle" don't go bigger that that.

[@alanack67]

NebukedNezzer above stock also screws my gearing for towing

[@NebukedNezzer]

Yes, I spect out my silverado 4x4 with optional. 4:10 gears so with bf goodrich all terrain KO size 265 16 the engine runs 2100 rpm at 65 mph. I am happy with that.

[@alanack67]

NebukedNezzer my Cummins has 3.55 and it struggles a bit with big hill at low speeds. Does good above 40mph but taking off kinda sucks. I think my transmission is toasted

[@JbVest]

How to fix,. USE WHAT COMES IN THE DAMN TRUCK

[@ja6367]

Oh, hop off… old man

[@DT-kl7uf]

Same problem..its progressively getting worse..I also see it s hitting part of my bumper.. how do I handle the bumper part??
