Default 305/35/24.... doesn't fit

Thank God i didn't order them online. I went to a local shop, they put a 305/35/24 Pirelli on and it rubbed too much. Now i got a taste of what the ride is gonna look like i have to wait till tomorrow. I going with a 295/35/24 Nitto, can't wait!!

Thought i would share. Thanks for listening

They fit mine just fine and don't rub at all! What is the offset of your rims?

They do have an odd backspace and offset, i figured they might rub cause they stick out a little. The smaller tire will fit fine so not a huge deal. I have some pics tomorrow or sat

i originally ran 295/35/24's on my Tahoe when I first bought it, but when I went and bought new tires there was a screaming deal on the 305/35/24's and I couldn't pass it up. I noticed a lil rubbing when I trailered my boat but no other time

Are you guys lowered? My Tahoe is dropped 2/3, but I'd like to run the 24's. I'm just worried about too much rubbing. I already had to trim some of the rear fender liners off with the factory 20's.

Before you trim, try a heat gun. I've seen in other posts where that has worked by reshaping the inner liner.
