Right front wheel protrudes further than left?

[OR VietVet]

If the rotor was machined wrong (i.e. too thick where the hub is), the studs would not stick out as far. If the rotor was too thick there, the wheel would stick out further.

Yea, called the "rotor hat" thickness. If it does not matter what wheel is there, well.....it is baffling as to what is wrong. You could take to a trusted alignment shop of a body shop that does frame straightening and have it set up and get some measurements.

I see what you mean, now. I'll drop the rotors this weekend and check their thickness

I didn't put a plumb bob on the fender, but mine look even.

Maybe you don't beat on yours enough?

I drive my Tahoe harder than most people drive their sports cars.

Not a GMT900 you don't.

Has someone said something to you about this to be so self conscious about it?

Probably mean people on forums did.








...But now I'm gonna text him about it to twist the knife some more.

For like…the 5th time: the RF tire scrubs the fender, the LF does not.

I didn’t say “enthusiasts”, I just said “most people”.

Just curious, can you take a measurement from the frame to the seam weld (or something easy to measure) under the rockers to see if that is the same side to side?

Raise it up some and get smaller wheels and tires.

They're OEM 22's.

Everyone calm down and be courteous to each other.

body mounts shifted?
1/8" to one side would be 1/4" difference...

 

[mikez71]

oops

I would just put it on an alignment rack and take measurements
1/4" is really not that bad as long as tire wear etc is good.
It could just be that your aftermarket wheels are a bit off or the
difference in tire sizes from OE are giving you the "scrub" concerning you
Or that when brakes or wheel bearings were done in the past that
the hubs/wheels/ etc were not all cleaned the way they are supposed to be

I would pull the front wheels, throw a few a few lugs on to hold the rotors snug and take some frame to back of rotor measurements to compare.

This is the 4th set of wheels that's been on the truck. 3 OEM sets, 1 aftermarket.

I'll be on an alignment rack Tuesday, so I'll measure everything then!
