Default Front tires rubbing and popping

Hey I just bought a 2008 chevy suburban with aftermarket rims and tires when I turn it rubs and pops would a leveling kit fix that problem?

It depends on where it is hitting under there, as to whether a couple of inch lift kit is going to make a difference. You need to cut the wheels until they hit, while parked, then get under there and look, and decided if 2 to 4 inches vertical is going to make a difference.

The tires must be significantly larger than the stock tires to be hitting like that.

Maybe easier to go back to stock rims/tires?
