Re: 37 tires rubbing any advise please!
Can't really see **** from your pics where you are rubbing and how much.
Some trucks get away w/ 37's, others dont. I know not all "37s" are the same true height. Seems the cheaper brands tent to exagerate their size a bit more to me. No idea if it was just slop in the assembly procedure at the mfg plant or what.... If the front IFS could be further forward slightly- Would have to get a group of rigs that did and didn't fit 37's together to compare measurements. But there was no way possible 37's would fit on my ride...left or right I couldn't turn a street corner. Ended up putting a 6" lift on and have been pissing away all my money on mods ever since.
An alignment isn't going to do ****.
Changing offset isn't going to do **** either. Your only changing how much further or less the wheels will be in from the stock position. The more you move the wheels out, the more its going to rub the outside of the wheel in the direction you turn. If you bring the wheels in, your going to rub the inside of the wheel turning more. Changing this will not solve your problem of not having enough height between the wheel and the vehicle.
You already have keys...if your ride still drives somewhat reasonable, I wouldn't screw w/ cranking on them any more.
You can half ass some of this by removing the inner fender covers. There is a pinch weld right about center of your tire. You can beat that over w/ a big ass hammer gain a little more room. I personally would never do this to any of my vehicles.
Next cheapest option is to throw a 2" body lift on the truck.
If you think thats kind half assing then a full blown lift is whats left.
What ever you decide to do, you need to remember when you jab the hell out of the brakes- the nose of the H2 will drop 3 or 4" down into the suspension. You need to/should account for this clearance also.
