I know that you guys must be thinking that I have more problems than a "one legged man in an *** kicking contest", BUT, has anyone had any problems with their OX Lite stick guards scraping the inside rim of your front tires? It actually scrapes metal off. Im not sure how much of a problem this is, but I am going to file the stick guards back, never-the-less.

The stick guards dont actually touch the rims when the vehicle is not moving. I have deduced that it "scrapes" when making tight turns during acceleration pushing the rims against the stick guards.

I had the same problem on my 98 Grizzly and I just grinded them back. I also had a problem with the cv boot plasic guards hitting the ox lites and shaved the plastic back a bit, but it was well worth it I love the ox lites.

I bought Cycle ****ry guards, but had the same problem. I had to do A LOT of grinding before they didn't rub.
