  1. If I'm reading the chart right 285/70/17s should fit my truck without trimming?
  2. Hey guys. Thanks for coming back to me. Had loads going on and didn't get back to this thread. Not super interested in bigger diameter, staying 17s would be fine. Would wanna stay flush if possible and all terrain tires would probably do rather than full off road ones. Any recommendations for a good place to get a joint wheels and tires setup? I'm in Northern Virginia
  3. Hi All, I drive a 2009 Ext. Cab 1500 Silverado. 154k miles but had a reman fraser engine fitted about 2k miles ago so she's humming! Apologies if similar questions have been asked before I'm struggling finding exact answers using the search function! My tires are reaching the end of their life and I'm looking at taking the opportunity to change my wheels too. I would like to improve off road performance and visuals and am planning a levelling kit but don't want a lift as I've never had a clearance issue on the trails I use. I'm after something simple with a slightly wider size. Like: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-wheels/vision-soft-8 in maybe 17x9? Not really sure what difference a stud pattern makes or what offset is better? As for tires I'm looking at going bigger I guess. I've read 33" is the biggest you can go without modifications so was wondering what size everyone recommended? To improve off road performance / grip without totally destroying gas mileage and hopefully still completing the "chunk off road" look. And whether there was a brand that was good and what I should be budgeting? I'm also hoping to get the whole thing purchased and fitted from a simple chain place (I'm in VA) if possible so it's a one stop shop. I've tried building a package on various sites but not having much luck! Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks
