Uneven tires

[michael2007slt]

One of my tires sits towards the rear of the fender, while the other one sits in a regular position. I have no idea what could be causing it.

Could be that wheel spacer that's on only one side.

I tired to put spacers to see if it would fix it. It did not

Maybe give the members here an idea of what you're driving. Make, model, year, drivetrain.

And are the wheels and tires exactly the same size?

How about some pictures with wheels on to show what you are seeing. Need some reference points to view

The first picture is of the good side where it sits even in the wheel well. The second one is of the problem. It hits the fender .

I borrowed your pics and rotated them. Are you talking about the small gap between the front of the tire and the bumper cover?

Good:

Bad:

it’s the other fender that hits on the lower part of the fender. Towards the door

Maybe mark your pics when you describe the difference. What size are the wheels, and what size are the tires?

I know the driver side tire on my 2008 yukon will rub the mudflap when cranked to the left. Doesn't happen on the RH side. Factory tire size. Not sure why either. Maybe with your bigger tires and rims it's more pronounced?

I’m kinda confused here. Is your issue where it rubbed and bent the inner fender down? Or where one tire is straight and one tire is crooked? If it’s the crookedness that seems like an alignment issue with the tie rods but you should know because it ought to be pulling hard one way or the other… If it’s the rubbing then it’s probably do to the offset. Wheel spacers definitely aren’t going to assist in any Clearance if anything it would make it worse.
It’s odd though do you have a lift at all? Even a leveling kit? I cleared my 20x12s and 275s full lock when my rig was stock and nose diving it was only when I stepped up to 305s when the rubbing started and that was with a 2-3” lift on it. I ended up doing the “NorCal” mod to the inner fenders basically where the lower bolt is at you hack that corner out just about to that bolt and round it off and it gives you a lot more clearance. I also had to trim a hair off the front bumper
I used a grinder with a cut off wheel and a ball peen hammer to do the job. On the front bumper make sure to put tape where your cutting so you don’t chip up the paint and it’ll also give you a line to go on so you get it nice and straight and even with the other side
