How Big Of A Tire Can I Fit Stock?

stevehovis · September 30, 2010

I was wondering if anyone knew how big of a tire I can fit with my oem 20's. I have a 2010 laser blue edition which came with those 20's. Would I be better off getting some 17's or 18's for that big tire look. I was considering swapping a guy plus some cash on his end for his 2007 oem 18's and then I was going to pain them black. If I did that would tire size be any different. I've been looking at General Grabber AT-2's Any suggestions?

P.S. If I have the money in the near Future I was considering getting a suspension lift anywehre from 4-7.5 inches by rough country. Like I said im open to all opinions.

Heres to my first post haha

for the most part all stock tires are the same size. 265/70 r17 265/65 r 18 and whatever the 20s are are all the same heighth and width. i suggest you stick with what you have untill you get a lift if your gonna do that. then get different wheels and tires. the chevy 18s look good on a stock height truck. i dont care for them on a lifted one....

Welcome to a boat load of information from everybody here!! Love that color of truck!! Im gonna get some mud grapplers or trail grapplers I do believe, 33/12.50/20's We have the same rims(i think) I like them, gonna stick with them for awhile. Getting my tires the first of the year with my tax refund. I'm wearing out my tires first I see no need to spend $1400.00 any sooner than I need to...... I am a country boy and don't care about the sound of tires so I'm getting mud tires for sure, plus it looks cool with a lift!!

Dunno about size, but I *LOVED* my Grabber AT2's on my old Jeep. Buddy had em on a 2wd F150 and really liked em as well.

Yep we have the same wheels. I live in edinboro,pa and we have terrible winters and last winter my grand prix had eagle ls2 on it.....I hated them and guess what i got stock with mine haha LS2's so I might trade mine or sell them and get those generals. Going to put a leveling kit to squeeze those 33's in hopefully.

You cant really run an open intake in there because the heat in immense from the engine. Its stupid how the crossover pipe comes across right next to the computer and intake. The tranny is almost too weak for the vehicle too. I was part of the gxp forums and everyone said around 30-50 thousand miles there trannys went i sold mine at 41,000 because it was starting to slip. I hated how the front wheels were bigger than the back haha. I guess its just little things that made me mad about it. The place where i traded mine in at in july still has my car and it looks incredible. Ill have to find a pic and post it. I asked them about it and they said no one has even gotten serious about that car.

I attached a pic of it. I dont have a newer pic of it. The wheels were painted the same color i pushed the exhaust tips back some and put super 40 flowmasters on it. If I would of kept it I would of beefed up the tranny and turboed it
