TF Hinge and Mount Question
Anyone else using the TF hinge and mount have the tire rubbing/touching the hinge? I am using a stock wheel, so I understand that it will sit closer to the hinge, but I did not think it would be up against the hinge.

Mine is close but no rubbing. I have a 4.75 backspaced wheel though with room to spare (pun intended) for adjustment out further. If you are adjusted all the way out, you may look at picking up a cheap wheel spacer.

Nothing wrong with having the tire against the hinge portion, that will help keep it from jiggling around.

I would say cranking the lug nuts down and having the studs pull out would be too tight. Otherwise you'll be fine, it's better to have that tire snug against it than jiggly.

Ok. Thank you. So you're saying if the lug nuts are too tight then that would put a lot of stress on the studs?
