I have a 2012 canyon crew Z71 4x4 with a 5.3 v8.
Stock tire size is 265/70/R17
After doing some research on the forum and other sites I decided to order a set of crager soft 8s 17x8 with 4.5" back spacing and ordered fierce attitude 265/70/R17 tires.
I installed then and was getting nasty rub on the front valance and plastic. I took the valance off and cut a bit of the plastic off.
No more rub in the front...
However this is where my headache begins...
Now after removing the valance I noticed rubbing on the body mount of the outside tread of the tire when turning the wheel. So, I began cranking the TBs. Well I cranked and cranked and could not get the tire to clear the body mount. The CV joint angle was terrible!
So... I got frustrated put the TBs back to stock height and brought the tires down to STS and had them put on my stock rims....
Now I have these sweet rims staring at me. How do you guys get these rims to fit?
Please help!
Also, the thought of lifting my truck came to mind but trying to find the correct parts for this truck is not easy!
Here is what my truck looked like....
(Why the pic is messed up I do not know)
