First time poster.. bare with me lol

I have a 2009 gmc sierra regular cab short box. I recently lowered it 6 in the rear but havent yet lowered the front. I purchased a set of 22 inch rims with tires and when i put them on the truck just found out that they rub the inside wheel well when turning. mainly happens when im trying to park, its minimal but still a nuisance.

So my question is: Is there a simple fix solution to getting rid of this rubbing?

Just don't cut it, whatever you do. That makes it look pretty trailer-parky.

thanks.. it seems to be just the plastic liner inside that it rubs. ill take that advice into consideration and see what i can do..

Most likely it's the inner fender well, but no promises. The mechanic at my old work would bend them back and screw it to something.

If its rubbing on the bumper it's easy enough to space it out a fraction of an inch.

Best thing would be to have someone turn the wheel lock to lock and figure out exactly where it is rubbing.

- Trim the inner fender liner
- Move the metal that might be in the way
- Lift the truck up to stop the rub
- Change the wheel off-set
- Get smaller tires

Whichever one will work for ya.
