Hey guys! I have a 02 xterra with tires that rub the wheel well constantly, and I need help finding a solution that is affordable. I am new to the "xterra game" and I need advice on stuff like this! Anything helps, thanks!

It would help if you said what tires you have (Size, etc) and what rims you have (OEM/aftermarket, what backspacing, etc)...and if you have any other modifications, such as a lift, etc.

Where its rubbing, and under what circumstances, (turning, compression, etc...) can help as well.

TJTJ is going to be your guy for info.

I'll add in though and say that I was running 265/75/16 A/T tires on a 4.5" back spacing wheel. No lift. I had to cut a tiny bit of plastic (can't be seen) behind both of my front wheels, at the bottom, due to rubbing when hitting bumps+turning.

I will look here in a little while. Do you think that spacers will help or should I just go for a lift? and if so what kind should i get?

It all comes down to what you use the truck for. Is it a stock daily driver? Any interest in offroading or trail riding? Do you want to go for bigger tires or just keep it stock/street friendly?

This still needs to be answered to give any info that will help
