Why is my passenger front tire rubbing my mudflap? The tire seems to sit maybe an inch further back than the driver side front tire.

Is there an adjustment? I even trimmed the flap down and it still rubs.

When’s the last time you’ve had the alignment checked?

I've had this Tahoe for several months now. I did a bunch of suspension work so I'm getting the alignment done next weekend. Good point, I didn't think that an alignment would affect it, but hopefully it can fix itGood point, I didn't think that an alignment would affect it, but hopefully it can fix it

Should not be happening. I run 305/50x20 tires without rubbing.

Re-check all of your suspension work to ensure that everything is as it should be, and then get an alignment.
