Bit of a dilema.
Old tires were stolen off the truck [04 GMC Sierra 1500 Z-71] ... insurance sends new wheels, new wheels won't fit. :(
New wheels are 33" Toyo Open Country M/T's mounted on some American Racing Chamber wheels, 18x9.5.
Main clearance issue is up front and the tires rub the front bumper and definately would smack inside the wheel wells if it went over any decent bumps.
So... since they wont fit they [the insurance company's place that is handling the claim] is trying to figure out what to do.
Would like a 3" body lift take care of business?
Also, do lifts void the factory powertrain warranties?
Thx! :) Just looking for options.
