After HOURS of research, I got new wheels/tires on my 2018 Screw XLT 4x4. Gear Big Block wheels 20x8 +18 offset with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 275/65/20. LOTS of examples online and a few PMs from knowledgeable folks said this setup would work. WELL . . . got them installed. The rears are fine of course, the L front just barely rubs. But the R front rubs at 3/4 turn against the crash bar BEHIND the tire. WTH???

Anyone with an easy fix to this? I don't want to remove the crash bars. I read one post where a guy took a big hammer to the crash bar - anyone care to weigh in on that? Les Schwab locally quoted me $350 or so for a 2" level, is this the best option? Seems pretty cheap, should cause no problems mechanically.

Any other options/thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

 

Bilstein 5100s or 6112s... level it that way, and enjoy a better ride at the same time.

 

I'd have lost that bet. 1st time I've seen that tire/rim combo not fit. Are you using any spacers?

Here's the best way to fix it without leveling. Move each side the same amount, .5" - 3/4" max is all that's needed. Will not compromise the crash bars.
