So, many have complained about stock tires\rims, rubbing on stock height trucks and a couple weeks ago I made an adjustment, that stopped one area of rubbing, but still one persisted.
Here is what I did a couple weeks ago. Closed the 1.25" gap at the front of the wheelwell with a zip tie.
And here is what I did today after I heard more tire rubbing backing out of the driveway and making a sharp turn. I drilled tiny holes in the wheelwell liner for the zip tie to go through.
On the passenger side I drilled a hole and looped through a little opening that was already there.
Then on the drivers side, I drilled the same hole in the liner and looped under the little mounted plug.
I was able to pull the liner back about 1.75"-2.00" on both sides.
This is very embarrassing to Zip Tie fixes on an $80,000 truck. I can understand if I had adjusted height, or replaced with aftermarket rims and tires, but everything is stock and I know others are complaining as well.
I have tested this and for the first time since owning my truck, I have NO tire rubbing on the truck.

Total time to fix, 5-10 minutes.
