ehhh well from that pic it looks like if you get spacers your going to lose tucking abilities...is the damage noticeable on the frame? Like can you see on the frame where it rubs because if not, it might be rubbing on your tie rod ends inside the wheel...

Do not turn the wheel as much. Try having 18x 9.5 inch vette wheels.

I have shocks on my truck and bagged and I rub as well a little. After a while you get used to how wide the most you can turn without rubbing. U might as well kiss u truns goodby.

i have relocated shocks that were there when i got the truck i have mad rub when i turn sharp. the shocks are welded to the frame right behind the control arm so when i turn left the left tire is rubbing ,if the shocks are in front of the control arm is there less rub?

I have 20x9.5" on my s-10 and they rub but I just learned how far I could turn my steering wheel w/out rubbing.

i think its hard for some folks to grasp that when you roll a bagged, lowered, lifted ride, things change, and instead of being able to find some solution to the wheels rubbing, you just have to make the adjustment of making 3 point turns, im just glad i can still make u turns laying door, fuck yea, save air. woot

thanks for the feedback, i figured not to much i could do. i def cant tuck with spacers.. i tried it the other day. but yeah to matt (ss ten) its pretty noticable on the inside of the frame, my driver wheel just digs the fuck outa my frame, u cant see it on the wheels.. dont really care, just seein what ideas yall had. thanks
