Default Is this possible.

Is it possible for my front tires to rub on the bolt at the bottom of the upper control arm? (20x9 +37) 245-35-20) 1finger gap. I've driven it a short distance, but is very scared that the bolt may puncture my tire. While I'm driving I can't really tell if anything is rubbing.

i have the same wheel and tire spec on my front. it wont rub. The arm moves with the tire, so unless something breaks, it will not hit.

Thanks dungut. Are your fenders rolled or shaved?

Yup as said above, it moves with the tire. I have 22's and I have like a paper sized difference from the bolt had to grind the nut just a little to clear the tire.

as for fenders, you never shave them, always roll...
