I'm looking at purchasing an ext cab Tacoma. I've found an 01 TRD that has been in a front end collision. It has about 31" BFG AT's on it but there is some significant tire rub on the pass side when turning right. I know there are some slight frame rub issues when running this size tire but this is catching on the back portion of the wheel well not just some rub on the fram. Is this something that's normal? Or is the alignment out of wack? The guy is telling me he just had it aligned but with this it seems like the alignment might be jacked. Can't see any new parts as far as the upper and lower arms or the CV shaft is concerned. Is there anything else I should be aware of with the 01 Taco's?
Tacoma gurus, please help

There is not really any bend to the outside edges. The top arm is tilted a little though.

You can always compare it to one on a used car lot or I can email you pictures or show you but mine is a 99 but I think they are the same.

if I could get some pics of yours that would be great also the front frame and the subframe member rcb0325@comcast.net
There should not be any rub with a 31...our taco at work is an 04 4x4 standard cab non-TRD and it has 265/70R16s on it (which is equivalent to about a 32" tire) and this was stock from the factory and there is zero rubbing...IMO, knowing its been wrecked I would skip it...what else are you going to find out is wrong with it farther down the road.
