Offset. It's too far out. It's a nine wide zero offset wheel. I probably needed about +12 offset.

I'm raising the front bumper about another half inch and pushing it out about a half inch on Monday. If any trimming on the bumper is necessary after that, it'll be minimal. But the tire also rubs the very bottom of the quarter planel/fender area. Just barely touches it, and only touches these areas when turning. I can't run around like that though. I wish I could buy the exact wheel with the proper positive offset to fix the rubbing issue.

Friggin' pissed right now.

You sure you have your offsets right? The lower the offset the more flush the wheel is. Is it rubbing the inside or outside fender?

What is the factory offset?

I have no idea what the factory offset was. But I need the wheel/tire pulled inside the wheel well more, so I need to go with a positive offset wheel, as the wheel on there right now is a zero offset.

Going with a smaller tire instead. Staying with Cooper's but forced to go with a different model. The LTZ's don't come in the size I need.

Going with the Discoverer H/T Plus 265/60-18

Got rid of the grampa grille with the buttons screwed into it for the bug screen/winter front.

I've had a hard time finding someone to help with an exhaust clip. The problem is, finding someone that understands a Start, Idle, Rev, Rev Under a Load, Take off and Drive By. The two vids I have are cheap. So I'm not posting them. But I gotta say, as far as owning a van, I couldn't be happier. I shouldn't have waited this long to buy one. I'll get a vid one day.
