Default well, it happened.......

so i was pretty sure i wouldnt have any fender rubbing problems w/ stock tires and wheels, but i was wrong.
so what do you guys reccomend, should i have it professionally done or should i just grab the baseball bat?

see, not too bad.....

the pic is bad, but if you know what ur looking at then you will know what you are looking at.

I would have my body guy do it, but i'm just a perfectionist ***, i have seen others DIY w/ great results.

You may as well try and fix it yourself. What are you going to do, screw it up more? If you can't fix it, take it in. Looks like you can do it though.

thats a realy stupid queston, what are you thinking. j/k yeah thats what happend. in a turn i bet. you can tun your tire on your own and just look and see that it would deff interfere if it was to low. that sucks and I agree with carry12, go for it.

even slow, if the tread catches it just right it can do that, I had a friend that put biger mud tires on his truck and was fine untile he got on the drive. he could hear it rubing but once it got to a sertain part of the drive it damn near ripped his fender off.
