Tire Rub

I'm running 29.5's on my rhino and they are rubbing really hard in my front fender wall. I'm worried about them rubbing thru the plastic. I've heard of people heating up the inner fender and bending it in some. Will this work? And has anyone done this already and how it stands up to normal wear n tear ???? Thanks

i was going to say jus put a cfm lift on it then i saw your sig...lol. wonder why yours rub. i know alot of people run the 30 backs and 30 lites without issue. are the terms that big?

10" wide. Only when I turn. But my 28's rub when I turn and hit holes at the same time as well. Wish someone made a set of +1 forward a arms for the front. Problem solved.

try heating it man and then i will know if it will work on mine lol id be worried it will get a bit brittle but if it does i guess u could just skin it with 1/8 stainless or something maybe

Thought about using the stainless or aluminum. But I don't want to tear up my tires a lot. Those terminators are soft.

fuck it ill try to heat mine with a heat gun and see if i can mold it. i fucked up alot more expensive shit on that thing before mine dont rub all that much but at least we will know ( . Y . )

I was getting my heat gun this weekend and trying. I ain't scared lol

if it cracks up ill just have to wear flip flops i guess

I wear waders or just get muddy. Just want it to stay looking good

ya yours does look nice i tried to keep mine good for about 2 days then i rammed that 2500 dollar body kit thru the bush at 20 miles an hour just so i could get it over with its got tywraps now that look like stiches, almost like it was meant to be there

Lmao. I tear mine up sometimes. Drove it hard last weekend. Still waiting in the videos. Should be nice.

ya it was perfect conditions here had a record amount of snow and it was about 95% melted. had a blast it was the first weekend that u could wear a t shirt. i cant wait to intall my cam!!!!! i just need a bit more power and i hope james sends my sheave and msd3d out soon. i m going to try 15s right off the start

This is an interesting topic. The heat gun is a good idea. I've read about how some guys use a basketball to help form the affected area. Supposedly, the basketball helps make a nice, gentle curve.

i want to see pic of both rhinos. 29.5 terms and 30 backs.

a softball would be better....its a larger surface. I have heated plastic before to remold it (not Rhino plastic). Best thing to do is get it warm all the way though then push it a little. Go slow cause you can always heat more but its hard to fix once you have gone to hot. Also have a spray bottle near by with water in it. once you get the shape you want hit it with just a spray or 2 of water to set the outer skin in shape and let the rest air cool. Its not like metal where it becomes real brittle doing that.

Nice rhino sls. Those tires/ rims look sick.

thanks man i just put them on i had 28s before but i was riding on a really hot day and all the lugs seperated and they wouldnt hold air. it looks funny as hell tho with all skinnys but after this last weekend im convinced its worth the shity looks for the way it hammerd thu the mud

yea man looks cool with the big rubber
