Default Front tires Rub

Hello again,

I have having trouble with my front driver's side tire rubbing my inner fender. It happens if I hang a left turn and even more if I hit a bump during a left turn. Not what I had in mind when I think about burning rubber!

I have the tires and rims B&B suggested installing. (weld rims 3-1/2 backspacing with 255 60/15 tires)

Anyone else have the same problem?? I don't think I can squeeze any more room from the inner fenders.

I was thinking of switching to a 4 -1/2 backspacing rim so they will fall inside the fender more but I am not sure if it will make the rubbing problem better or worse.

I can now smoke 3 out of 4 tires!!

Thanks Jim
