2012 GMC Yukon Denali On 26" Rubbing Issue

[DenaliDenis]

I have 26" KMC Slides On My Truck. They are on 305/35 tires.

They rub when the wheel is about 1/4 turn. Does anyone have any tips on what to trim or use a mallet on?

Please help as this is annoying and don't want to have to make million point turns to turn around etc etc...

You can heat the plastic up depending on where it's rubbing.

Heat it up then what?!

Heat it up then what?!

while it's heating up you push the plastic inward (away from where it's touching)

With 28s I had to cut away some of the bracets at the bottom of fender wheel. . After cut dont make a sound or rub at all

Do you have any pictures of the brace you cut and how you cut it?

Are you lowered or anything? I had 26" slides on my old Tahoe with it lowered and it rubbed a little. But if you are at stock height and rub I want to say it could be the offset on the rims.

I use to have my 07 Tahoe lowered 2/4 on 28's. All I did was cut the plastic towards the bottom of the wheel wells and I had no more rubbing

 

[DenaliDenis]

Does anyone have any pictures of what to cut?

I completely removed my plastic inners and I still rub on the firewall. Once my tires wear out I will switch over to a 295-30-26
