2017 Chevy Silverado 33x12.5 tires RUBBING stock wheels BILSTEINS 5100 

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

John, the turn was right at the hard lock point. Owner said he would never turn at hard lock anyway so he was good to go with it. Thanks for watching!

I noticed it too, but I think they'll settle down a bit with a few miles on them. Thanks!

5100s are gunna ride rougher than oem. Just the way it is .

Thanks for sharing!

@@pmtips4482 thanks friend 👍🏽

The owner loves the ride the 5100s give him. The Z71s rode and handled the absolute best when GM installed Bilsteins as OEM. Ranchos are hit and miss, this truck had never been off-road yet the left front Rancho broke internally and would not rebound, at the 25,000 mile mark. The best driving, riding, and handling vehicle I ever owned was a 1996 Chevy Tahoe (Bilsteins was OEM) GM and their bean counters will break the company.........again.

Thank you!

Kyle, from what I saw with this truck in the video, a 1 inch spacer should be about perfect. This truck only slightly rubbed at a fairly hard lock (to lock) turn. Best of luck to you and thanks for watching!

@@pmtips4482 hey, I just wanted to follow up I got the same spec tires BUT aftermarket wheels with a -12 offset. I’ll let you know how it goes! Thanks for the advice !

@@kylekeaveney2393 How did it go

@@kylekeaveney2393that’s the exact tire size and wheel offset i’m getting i need to know how it went

He put the shocks all around. The rubbing was only in extreme lock to lock steering. You could think about wheel spacers but then you have to decide do you really mind the tires sticking out another half inch. Thanks for watching!

I'm not sure about that. I think you should talk to a 4x4 shop and get their thoughts. Thanks!

Hi Keneaux, in short....I can't answer that question. You need to consult with a 4x4 shop because those guys deal with issues like yours on a weekly basis. It is worth a trip to your nearest shop to discuss the matter as it could save you tons of hassles. My limited experience with this stuff is.....there is always a compromise. Thanks for watching and good luck in your findings!

37s on the Raptor would look awesome! You're right though, you could get into some tricky territory on the suspension rubs. Before you do it, it might pay to drop in on a truck performance shop. Those guys see a lot of different situations and sometimes flat out know what will work with minimal cost. Thanks for watching and I appreciate you commenting!

@@pmtips4482 thanks for the reply, keep in touch

They should work out if you don't mind the extended result. The owner in this video did not want any extension out. Thanks for watching! Stay safe!!

The customer claimed he called Bilstein and they told him it was fine to make the adjustments. You don't have much adjustment to work with, maybe about 2 inches max. Thanks!

@@pmtips4482 yeah after watching this video… which I installed my 5100s 5 years … i had put mine on the second setting even though I had a 1” spacer . I guess I understood it wrong….

A far as the actual radius, IDK. The rubbing was very slight. My driving habits have always been to never hit the hard lock to lock in turns. Thanks!

Not in this particular situation. The only thing to do (and keep the same height) is to have wheels with more negative offset. The tire needs to be further away from the upper control arm. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Pm Tips I have some 33x12.5r18’s BFGs that I got for a good deal so they’re in my garage. I want to put them in my truck but I don’t know what to put so it doesn’t rub. I have a motofab lift (2.5) also sitting in my garage. 0 offset wheels? -18’s? +18’s? If you have any ideas let me know! Thanks!

@@danielmora3843 I would highly recommend you pay a visit to your nearest 4x4 truck performance shop and talk to those guys. They see a lot of different situations come in the shop every week and most can answer your questions on the spot. On the offset of the Chevy in this video (OEM wheels), his offset is a positive 24mm (or almost an inch). So if he went to a positive offset of 10mm he would be getting in better shape. The problem is the tire will now start to stick out the side the exact amount you move the offset. The owner is just careful during lock to lock turns, but he is not a hard core off roader. Hope this helps!

@@danielmora3843 wheel spacer 1/4"

I don't know what height you are at, but I would not expect any rubbing except at a hard lock to lock turn situation, and that's with two inches or less lift. Thanks and good luck!

@@pmtips4482 yes sir i have a 2.5 level kit installed on the truck so sounds like it will work.

Good to know. Thanks

Anything negative, stock wheels aren’t wide at all and I believe they’re 0 offset, if not positive. The wider the wheel/ tire and the “lower” (negative) the offset the more they’ll stick out

I have a -51 offset with 33x12.50 and they rub on the back side of the wheel well

@@jakeryt3176 Anything more than -24 will run. -24 and under will require no cutting and should fit perfect.

No sir they are stock. Thank you for watching! Stay safe!

The stamped steal upper control arm is the problem

The owner took this truck to a tire dealer and this is what they decided would work out best. I know there is a safe operating range limit on sizes that will work on a specific width wheel. Thanks for watching!

Pm Tips what I’m saying is 265mm is NOT 12.5 inch. It’s much less

The stock tires were 265. The new tires were 12.5 inch.

Hello, the rear is stock height. The owner wanted to get the front to the same level as the rear, or as level as he could with the Bilsteins. Thanks for watching!

Hi Bob, thanks for watching! I wish I could give you an answer but my experience is limited to this truck with these tires only. My advise is to consult with a 4x4 performance shop as those guys really know what they are doing and will gladly discuss it with you. Good luck to you and drive safe!!

That's what i have on mine and has minimal rub

It was a light rub and only rubbed when lock to lock turning. Thanks!

They certainly have their place, I think they would work fine. Thanks for watching!

Good info! Thanks!

You could try half inch wheel spacers (assuming your lug bolts will accommodate them). Some don't like the concept of extending the tire out (myself included). This customer just doesn't turn a hard lock turn. Thanks for watching!
