I just got new tires for my 1995 GMC Sonoma. They rub slightly on the frame when the wheel is locked in a turn. I am going to get spacers, but want to make sure that I get the correct size. The specs on the spacers are: Wheel Bolt Pattern: 5x4.75 Hub Bore: 70.5mm Thread Pitch: 12x1.5 Will these fit as needed?

Hello, my name is\*\*\*\*\* am going to help you with your question. Everything you have listed is the same as stock except the hub bore is 70.3, that difference should matter

then I need to keep looking for something that is exactly 70.3 hub bore?
Automotive Expert
No, the .2mm should not matter, the difference is negligible

Ok got it. I am also looking into a 2" suspension lift. Will this add more clearance or should I go with a body kit?
Automotive Expert
That is really up to you, just be aware that [tire size](/topics-tire-size/) changes, wheel spacers, and lifts are all changing the geometry of the truck and it is most likely things will wear out faster

sir. Now, I did find the other day that my oil cooler lines (significantly) are leaking at the oil filter and at the radiator (very slight). I have been advised to change these before doing anything further to the wheels/suspension for safety reasons. However, even with a floor jack, I cannot get enough clearance to get under the truck to change the lines. What would your advice be?
Automotive Expert
You are going to need to get some truck jack stands

Got it. I just ordered the spacers. I will advise on hey they work out!
Automotive Expert
Sounds good, if you need anything else please let me know and have a good day
