Tires rubbing aftermarket UCA .

[Nieder45]

Morning all,

     Recently picked up a 2012 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 with the 6.2 in it. How upon inspection I noticed rubbing on both uca and a slight rub mark on inside of tires . After looking at the control arms it appears the previous owner replaced with aftermarket . Best I can tell is they are tough country uppers and has a 2” level kit installed . I am currently runnning the stock tires of 265/70/17 on the truck . I obviously would like to get rid of rubbing and am curious what size wheel/tire is required to alleviate. Thanks for your time !!

Do you want a taller, or wider, (or both) tire than what you currently have? 

 

In any case, it looks like you need a wheel with less backspacing (more negative offset). 

 

I believe a 17x8 wheel, with 0 offset, would help you clear your current tires just fine.

Was thinking 285/70/17 for a tire size .
