Mud guard mod for fitment issues.

[Ol’greg2020]

Hello all I’m new to the forum as I just acquired a Chevy long time dodge owner. I wanted to hopefully pass along some helpful information on my tire size and trimming needed to be able to clear without rubbing, I replaced the stock duratracs which I found to be horrible for some Nitto terra grappler g2’s the factory tire I believe measured out to a true 32 1/2 I replaced with 275/65 r20 and my rims run a 0 offset they are a true 34”. I was told I could run 35’s stock no problem, if you can good luck to you! For trimming I had to remove the mud flap there are 3 stars i believe the size was t15 but I could be wrong and one 10mm bolt to release the flap from the body it’s also secured by an anchor so be careful,   try pulling straight out. There is one more star that holds the liner remove it as well it’s behind the mud flap , Then lift the carpet liner you will see the bracket it’s mounted to, there are 4 13mm bolts and the bracket pops right off. Zip tie the liner to a preexisting hole put a small hole in the liner and tighten the zip I cut roughly 2” off the inside of the flap and reinstalled. I am currently running these tires without major cuts to my liner just the “Chevy mud flap mod” buyer beware the trucks wheel wells do not support the tire size you would assume I hope this can save some money and heartache!

That is a really good write up. I have 265/60/20 fuel maverick wheels to put on, they have slight rubbing at full turn when I have 1.5 in spacer in. I think this would stop the rubbing. 

 

You don't happen to have before, during and after pictures do you?
