tire rub

[klweller78]

Hi all, first time postin here. I have a 85 k5 with 33 12.50 15's and when I turn the wheel completely to the right I rub on the drag link. Anyone else encounter this? If so, got any ideas to fix it, short of cross-over steering. I want to do that eventually just not in the budget right now.

This means your wheel offset is too much backspace. Either need different wheels that stick out further or wheel spacers.

Wheels with less backspace would take care of that problem, but then the tires will likely rub on the lower fender corners. That can be trimmed though.

You could always adjust your steering stops but you will loose some right turn ability. That's what I'm doing for now.

spacers to push the wheels out an inch or so would be an option. A little fender trimming might be necessary too. That all depends on lift height and flex though too.
