Calipers rubbing the wheels..ah hell

[TearEmUpTahoe]

What up I got a 2001 chevy Tahoe it's had 17in wheels stock and I just put a set of 33x12.5x15 on er and the back calipers are rubbing the inside of the rim! I've seen a lot of videos of guys grinding down the calipers any thoughts on this? Also the front driver side tire rubs the windshield washer fluid box when I turn, any ideas on relocating that? I don't want to lift it I have a leveling kit on it now. Any input would be great guys

Grind caliper, or get rims that fit... only options

There's no relocation for the washer fluid, you can heat it up and try to bend it out of the way.

So I took your advice and grinded down the calipers and they fit perfect the washer bottle is still in the way tho even after cutting the bumper and a lot of other stuff from the wheel well so it looks like the washer bottle is going to have to go, I don't use that shit anyways

You can heat the washer reservoir with a heat gun, hold the shape you want then pour cold water inside the tank to cool it at the shape you want. You won't gain a whole lot though. Are you actually off roading in this? Is it rubbing at normal driving or under articulation?
