Getting ready for lift and tires

[HiHoeSilver]

OMG ,WHAT A NIGHTMARE , The leveling kit went in no problem but the tires are turning out to be a nightmare. After everything I read and asked the 275/65/20 don't fit , so I went to a 265/60/20 and STILL RUB.

What's the offset on the wheels? Pics? I'm surprised you're rubbing. That's not even a 33" tire. I'm running 275/70/18 (33.2") with just a few turns on the stock keys.

Something's not right. What are your fender heights?

offset is 31. Here are pics of before and after. I heated the fender liners with a heat gun and it's not rubbing anymore. With a leveling kit .

Could the troubles have been because of the Z71 flares? Or the extra half inch width of the wheel with the stock offset? The 20 inch wheels used on the 900s are 8.5" wide.

The flares were not in the way but you are correct about the 9 inch wheels . I think if I went with 265 instead of 275 I would of been ok .

@Shumif1 The black accents compliment the color of that Tahoe exceptionally well. Looks great man. I am running 1.75 inch wheel spacers on factory 20inch wheels and about 3.5 inches of lift and I rub like crazy. I don't think there is anyway to fix it until I get different wheels.

Thanks , did you try it without the spacers ?
