Did they put a bumper extension on??? Also, do you know exactly where it is rubbing. I have had rubbing issues in the past, but it was with the front mud flaps.

Ahhh, there may be a remedy for this of which I know not.... Mine rubs like that too, I just make it a point not to turn as sharp unless absolutely necessary!

I'm sure someone else will jump and give some great info!

I have the same issue at full lock, I get a slight rub, I put 1/4" spacers behind my wheels, and I am going to try putting two sets in there possibly,

think that will hurt anything?

Hmm I don't know.....I think the 05-06 rims have the backspacing they do because of the coil over front end. So you might have to space them more than that to make them work. I don't see how spacers could hurt...but i'm no expert
