2/3" drop white on white Yukon

[BigAl]

Spring is finally here in Toronto, jus dropped the Yukon with Tony's 2/3" belltech kit. Everything rubs! Gotta take the wheels off again and cut back some wheelweld's, any advice? I can't even make a proper left or right turn without rubbing the inside by the fender.

Love the white on white. 24's? I had alot of rubbing issues with mine at that height with 24's but its just rubbing plastic.

26's, I used to have them on my 04 denali at stock height and didn't have any issues. Sandblasted and powdercoated them gloss white for this 07 yukon and installed Tony's drop kit. I'm gonna take it to the shop today and see what I can do with a heat gun and a saw....

Haha its just plastic it will rub its self away writer it needs to eventually or just remove the fenderwells completely.

 

[BigAl]

If I remove the front fenders will it leave anything sustainable to corrosion or damage? This is Canada after all, there's still salt and gravel on the roads from the winter that have yet to be swept up by the street sweepers

Do you run the 26's year round?

 

[BigAl]

I usually take them off in late October and run my stock rims with winter tires

 

[BigAl]

I took the fenderwell's completely out and the tire is still rubbing on the actual fender. It looks like I'll need to do some bodywork, any insight or advice would be appreciated

Hmm... Idk on that one. It's rubbing on the flat part of the lip of fender or the inner part?

wow...whats the offset. Inner fender plastic liner, just use a heat gun and warm it up, make room...will set when cooled.

hum thats weird. I just put my 26's on this morning and it rubs a little more then it did with 24's but one drive and pretty much all gone still a little bit of rubbing. But just keep the liners in and it should wear them down. what size tires you running?

 

[BigAl]

Well they're the u2 55 26's with a 25mm offset I believe, the tires are 305/30/26. They do stick out of the wheelwell, I also installed 15" Baer rotors on the front, would that affect the positioning of the wheel?

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

The rotors shouldn't effect it I have Bear Aluma Sports all around mine and don't have that issue. But I also cut a lot out when I first did the drop on my 24's. But all my rubbing is on the plastic not the actual body.

DAMN your 26's look sick man! Are you gonna get the matching rear vent esky appliques to match the oem esky tails?

You cut a lot of ur plastic wheelwell or the fender?

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

basically the only thing I really had to cut was in the rear and it was just the plastic.
Fronts didn't cut anything. I will try to get some pics of it for ya.

Big al, If you have to cut just plastic, use the a pair on tin snips. Like these.

It's what I used to cut my fender liners. Cleanest possible cut and very easy

Looks just sick!!!!

That white on white is so sick man... Really makes me wish I would have gotten a white Tahoe.. But there are quite a few white on whites rolling around my neck of the woods... Not many lowered hybrids on soon to be forged wheels
