pervitizm Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 So I went to the shop yesterday to finally get my wheels put on the suburban 26x9.5Dip Libra 15 on Lexani LX9100 tires. Well the tires are 305/30/26 and they rub up in the front really bad. The shop recommend that I go to a smaller tire or that my shocks and springs may need to be adjusted or change. They said that this was the first time that they couldn't get this setup on my style of truck with the 305 tires. The truck has around 94K miles on it and I've never changed the shocks or struts on it, should I go that route or should I go with smaller tires like a 275? I kinda don't want to go the smaller tire route cause the roads here are really bad and I don't want to fuck up the wheels when going over a shitty pot hole?

pervitizm Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 big hammer and trimming under the fenders will help unless you have a 4wd then you can turn tbars up little Wenn, Its a 4x4 truck. I don't want to do any cutting at all if I don't absolutely have to. I was thinking of taking a heat gun to the inner fender covers and seeing if I can reform them.

BeatBox Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 sometimes all u need to cut is the inner liners on both sides, maybe the inner corner of the front bumpers, usually not really noticeable got any pics? if you dont want to cut then try to get smaller tires=shtty roads= alittle trimming=nice tire size= you-> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) crank on your torsion bars a little bit or add ford/similar keys to lift up the front. Shouldnt be too hard to get little lift.

Bigg Boy Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Whats the offset of the rims? could be possible that its too high Quote Dodge Magnum with custom 300c front end, laid out on air bags *4) 12" Cadence Daytona walled *1) AudioQue 20k *270a DC Power Alt (Dual coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pervitizm Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I forgot what the offset was on the wheels I'll find out tomorrow when I call the shop. So you guys think just an adjustment on the torsion bars will do the trick?

meade916 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 i have 295/25/26 on mine.......for you i would probably suggest a 295/30/26. I dont know that i would do a 305 on a 9.5", 26. Seems kinda wide for a that rim IMO. I would also suggest you use Pirelli P-Zero like mine. You will love them! good luck!
