33inch tires with leveling kit question


Recommended Posts

Hey guy so i have a little problem and would like some feed backs if anyone has ran into this probleM.  So i have a 2018 1500 Silverado with a pro Lyft leveling kit and i just bought new tires and wheels for it. 22x12 offset 44 I believe with 33inch Arturo trialing blade mt tires. Well i was reading a lot of review on this set up and there was at least 100 of these sets ups i found reviews on and all most all of them said slight rubbing and minor plastic trimming involved. WELL... i got my new wheels and they rubb like crazy on sharp turns. My truck drives fine UNTIL you have to make a sharp turn or back up a trailer. Now i was wondering if anyone has had to modify anything other then the plastic which i have already removed my plastic corner protector piece already and it still rubs on my inside fender. Just upsets me when I read all the reviews and they say minor rubbing well that isn’t true at all..

Im not familiar with the specific products u went with but many have run a 33" tire on a leveled Silverado. I did. my only suggestion is to see if those other examples u went off of mentioned anything about an offset. theres a mod on the pinch weld that can attempted behind the wheel well cover. also u might get better tips and advice on the K2XX section of this forum.

Thanks just made me upset when all the review said slight rubbing.it sounds like a thunderstorm when turning.. just don’t want to mess my fender up.. at least an inch of my tire tread rubs on bottom of fender. You can see where i removed that plastic piece and in the other photo online all of them still have there’s on..

If you were reading that on this forum you were reading about the wrong trucks, this is the T1 forum, you have a K2 truck, and obviously very wide wheels too. 

I didn’t read it on this forum it was on the the wheels website. Sorry did I post it on the wrong forum I’m new to this forum stuff!

I removed the plastic bottom piece but it’s hits my fender pretty good on turns I just don’t want it to mess my fender up!
 

this is some of the reviews which is BS

 

For your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on a Leveling Kit running 22x12.0 -44 on 33x12.5 Tires the Custom Offsets Fitment Analytics have found that:
3% of builds with these same specifications had NO TRIMMING / NO RUBBING.
34% of builds with these same specifications had NO TRIMMING / RUBBING.
28% of builds with these same specifications had PLASTIC TRIMMING / RUBBING

You will need to do the NorCal mod to get those to quit rubbing.  Get your sawzall/reciprocating saw and get to work ?

beautiful wheels by the way, I was looking at those too!

That's how I got my ZJ tires to fit with a minimal lift. My neighbor thought I was crazy one Sunday morning as I was hacking away.

 

To the OP check in the K2 forum (2014-2018).
