I have a new to me vehicle. It came with a mismatched set of oem wheels so I bought a set of 2012 gx460 wheels and put them on. Shortly after I noticed my right front tire was rubbing at full lock. The left seems fine. The vehicle has been sitting low on the right side 3 mornings since I’ve owned it. It’s seems to air up fine once it’s turned on. 3 different shops have said the air springs are good on it. I’m just at a loss on what to do. Put the oem 17” back on the vehicle? Replace the air springs? take it to the dealership to diagnose? Possibly a KDSS lean plus a very slow leaking air spring? I’ve spent 500 on it so far and no one seems to know why the front right tire is rubbing. One mechanic did say the ride height sensors were giving him different readings. Any help is appreciated.

gx460 stock tire size (265/60-18) with 18" wheels are the exact same dimensions as 470, width, offset, circumference, diameter etc....height sensors only control rear with air springs. another thing...if you find the truck low, three times, the air bags are leaking regardless of what the mechanic says...

kdss has air springs up front?

Go around the four corners measuring the height. Use a tape measure from the center of the wheel hub to the fender lip, not from the ground (to eliminate tire + wheel differences)

The fronts should agree, and the rears should agree.

When looking at the fronts, if one side is low, and on the rears the opposite side is low, then there's some diagonal action going on. Knowing the rear air springs are controlled by the height sensors I would look there.
There are no air springs on the fronts - they're steel coils.
