Help. What are my options on a stock sierra with a -12 offset rim

[Somepunk396]

I recently purchased what I thought to be a rim and tire package off of tirerack.com. I figured that their catalog provided what was for a stock package. I was wrong.

 

So. I now have a new set of helos with a 17 x 9 rim -12 offset, and a 4.49 backspace.... the tire is a 265/70/r17

 

 

what are my options? I really would prefer nothing too crazy as far as a lift goes.... tirerack won't return them because they consider the fact that I lowered the truck to put the tires on now as "used." sooo...

 

Help?

 

Ps. My apologies if this is a repost. I just wanted a clear and concise answer in regards to my situation considering I already f'd it up once.

 

Thanks.

I would think a leveling kit probably 2 inches would work, pics would help and any complaints of what they are doing such as rubbing etc.

Fair enough.. I will post a picture tomorrow as it is dark outside right now... but to aid in your answers, currently I get tire rub (on the exterior, firewall side of the tire.) That is on an essentially stock sierra extended cab.

Here we go, a pic. It's not rubbing that badly... but this is with the wheel cranked as much as possible.

The only thing I can think of is to raise the truck a little or trim the liners a little or just suffer through it. Is it just on the drivers side or is it on the passenger side too, sometimes the left wheel caster is a little further back than the passenger side and they may be able to adjust it out with an alignment but you will probably have to tell them to do that specifically.
