can i go from p265/65/18 to lt275/65/18 on my 2010 chevy silverado z71 with 5.3 without hurting my tranny or anything else and will they rub?

lol no. that barely bigger! 31.5x10.5 vs 32.07x10.8 and would be a waste of$ unless your tires were bald! but those will be fine with no level kit. For these truck i think a level kit is a must for them to look right. People go 35's+ and are trans and stuff r fine. You can go 33's with level kit! I may go 275/70r18s 33x10.8 or maybe some 285's

the only reason i am going to change to LT275/65/18 is because the p tires dont last on dirt roads like the LT'S do and cant find a LT tire in 265/65/18

You'll be fine with LT275/65/18

I have them on mine with a 2" RC level but they would work without one. I had a 1.5" level when I bought them and they didnt rub my mud flaps, they stick out into the wheel well a bunch. I do A LOT of highway driving so I went just a bit bigger. My pic below has them on in it.

 

In all truth I wish I would have went 285's but I am satisfied for now.

Put some Lt275/65/18 on my 09 Sierra for towing and no rubs or any issues. If you don't want a rougher ride just keep pressures at 40-45lbs. As stated befroe the 285s should also fit and would fill the wheel well better
