So it happened to me. New tires don't fit.

Bilsteins 5100 on max setting, 20x9 +1 and 295/60r20. They hit right here





It's bad. Anyone running a set up like this?

Also can I drive it for a day or 2 with just the back wheels on? I haven't aligned since I leveled the front because I wanted the new tires on to do that.

Thanks guys

Following options will work:

1: Return tires.

2: Let it rub one out

3: Do a nice long burnout to wear the tires down. Place rear tires on front end. Burn swapped tires if leveling is of concern.

Problem solved!

Personally I would look at trimming the area where it is hitting and then push the inner fender back if necessary. I believe if you can turn it past this area you will gain clearance. My guess is most tire or body shops have some experience doing this.

Removing the fenders will eliminate the rubbing.

Thanks guys. Yeah I was stressed when I posted this and didn't do much research. I had gotten home from a 3 hour drive to get these wheels/tires and had an hour and a half to get them aligned and I was rushing. After talking to a few people and you guys, and actually looking at my truck, it is clear I can simply cut it back or bend it and clear it fine.

Thanks everyone

I just put 295/60/20's on mine with a 20x10 -12 with rubbing worse than what you showed. A little trimming was required, but mainly pulling the fender back behind the liner, fabricating a new bracket, and reattaching fixed the problem. It looks clean, but that's the benefit of having a shop do the work with experience.
