So I guess this can be my introduction :) but hey ya'll!! New here, traded in my 2012 Z71 Tahoe a few weeks ago and purchased a 2023 sterling silver Yukon Denali!! I really fell in love with it the first time I drove it but the mod itch took over so it has began. I've included pics below but if you want anymore let me know. I've put everything they installed down below as well!! I do have a few questions if anybody can answer them, the lift is great and love the stance but I'm getting some inner fenderwell rubbing when in reverse and wheel turned all the way, and on the Borla exhaust is that clearance okay on the back bumper? I thought the fitment was pretty good but the right side is a little close in one spot but it could be my OCD going nuts.

2.5" Rough Country leveling kit
Bora 6x5 0.5" Hub centric spacers
LT285/50R22 Toyo Open Country AT's
S&B Cold Air Intake
Borla Touring cat back exaust
GMC illuminated emblem

Sweet rig man! Looks great!

Figure out where the tires are rubbing on the liner slightly (should be a mark) and pull it back a bit if possible with zip ties.

My ex just put a second set of those tires on her high country (but 305/45/22), they have been great for her. Do very well in the snow too.

I have the same tires on stock air suspension. The rubbing issue you are having is due to the wheel spacers. They are pushing the outside edge of your tire into the fender liner during a sharp turn. For reference these pictures are the exact same 285/50r22 toy at3 on a stick 2021 suburban high country rim.

Unless your leveling kit has a new upper control arm that requires wheel spacers they are not required for factory 22 rims and 285/50r22 Toyo tires.

Mine only has Magna ride but I do like the overall look and stance of the spacers. Is there anyway to to zip tie it back or cut it? Mine seems to only rub when going in reverse but pulling forward is great.

You can google fender mod to get some ideas, Westcott Designs makes a bracket kit some people on this site have used. I attached the Cognito Motorsports guide for trimming 2019 and up 1500 series GM trucks and 2021 and up full size GM SUV’s.

You’ll have to use the spacers so that kit else you’ll run the control arms. I have the same kit.
