Default 285/60/20 rubbing with 2.5" pro comp level

Hey guys, my 285's are rubbing and I've trimmed more than I'm comfortable with already on my front bumper and fender liners. I'm wondering if perhaps the pro comp level isn't as aggressive as the BDS or others.

Can anyone say with any certainty that 5100's might give me just a bit more front end lift?

Thanks in advance.

looks like you have the wrong wheels...285/60/20 should fit fine with a 2.5 level and the stock wheels

Yeah I forgot to mention they fit fine on my stock 20's...

The offset is 0, 5" backspace.

as long as you stay close to your stock wheels back spacing you will be fine..
I think stock 20's are 5.71

The stock 20's are closer to 6.4 inches of BS...a 9 inch wide wheel with 5.75 inches of BS ought to clear a 12.5 inch tire with no rubbing while sticking out about 1 1/4 inches more than stock. The more you widen up the front track the more problem's clearing taller and wider tires.
