Fix tire rubbing after installing larger tires with proven solutions for lift kits, wheel offset, backspacing, and clearance. Learn how to stop rubbing when turning or hitting bumps on your truck or Jeep and dial in the right suspension setup for 33s, 35s, and beyond.

You upgraded to larger tires for a reason. Better stance. More ground clearance. More grip on the trail. Then you turn the wheel and hear rubbing.
It’s frustrating, especially after investing in new tires, wheels, or a lift kit. The good news is this is one of the most common issues in the truck and Jeep world. And it’s almost always fixable.
If your larger tires are rubbing when turning or hitting bumps, let’s break down what’s happening and how to correct it the right way.

How to Fix Rubbing After Installing Larger Tires

Upgrade off-road lighting with Rough Country for safer night off-road driving. LED light bars and ditch lights improve visibility and reduce fatigue.

Ever roll into a trail at dusk thinking headlights will handle the job? Five minutes later, shadows stretch longer, obstacles blend together, and every sound feels closer than planned. Night driving exposes weak lighting fast. Strong off-road LED lights remove the guesswork and bring control back to your hands.
Solid lighting upgrades improve safety, reduce fatigue, and help drivers read terrain before tires meet trouble.

Off-Road LED Lighting Upgrades for Safer Night Driving and Trail Use

Looking for the best winter off-road destinations? Explore snow trails, winter-ready routes, and cold-weather gear tips to help you off-road with confidence all season long.

Winter shuts a lot of people indoors. Most off-roaders tend to go the other direction. When temps drop, trails clear out, air gets crisp, and the drive feels sharper. Snow, ice, mud, and short days turn familiar routes into something new. Winter off-roading strips things down to skill, prep, and trust in your rig.
North America has no shortage of solid winter off-road destinations. From snow-packed mountain passes to frozen forest roads and cold desert slickrock, there’s a lot worth exploring once summer crowds disappear. This list highlights a few proven favorites, not every option out there. Think of it as a short hit list to get the wheels turning on your next cold-weather run.

The Best Places to Off-Road in Winter Weather

Learn how to improve your towing setup with proper weight distribution, suspension upgrades, air spring kits, sway control, and brake setup for safer, more confident towing.

If towing feels tense, something in your setup needs attention. A solid towing setup feels steady, predictable, and controlled. You pull out, merge, brake, and turn without fighting the truck. When things feel off, your hands tighten on the wheel and every bump gets your attention.
Improving your towing setup brings confidence back into the driver’s seat. Let’s walk through the areas where small changes make a real difference.

How to Improve Towing Setup

Winter puts your truck to work. Cold mornings, slick roads, road salt, and reduced traction all stack the odds against you. A little preparation keeps your truck dependable when conditions turn rough. If snow and ice show up every year where you live, this checklist helps you stay ready instead of reactive.

Cold weather can turn good performance into poor performance quickly. Fluids thicken. Batteries lose their oomph. And traction is gone in an instant, sometimes with no warning at all. Solid winter truck prep improves not only safety but also protects components that could be compromised, helping your truck handle daily driving without added stress.

How to Prep Your Ride for Snow, Ice, and Freezing Temps
