Largest All Terrain Tire On A Z71 Silverado Rim?

[GPGuy]

I'm wondering like the title says, what the largest tire I can put on my Silverado Z71 rims? I want to stick with All Terrain tires.

 

If anyone has pictures that would be great too!

 

I'm not looking to lift or anything at this point.

 

As pictured below.

If you're not wanting to put a leveling kit on, then you're pretty limited. The fenders openings on these trucks suck. A 275/65/18 would fit. If you want to see that size in person, cruise through a ford dealership after-hours. That's what comes stock on an F150 with 18's. A 265/70/18 would probably also fit, but that size isn't very common. I think a 285/65/18 might work, but it would be pretty tight without the level. With a level, you could step up to a 275/70/18.

My 2008 GMC Z-71 came stock with 17" wheels. I have BFG All Terrain 285/70/17 with no lifts. Dont know how 285's would work with 18" wheels.

Leaning towards the 275 65 18's. Looks like they should fit without any rubbing issues.

IF you level the front, yes. (or if you already have)

Will there be a bit of rubbing issues if you don't first?

[Zembonez]

When you turn, yeah.

 

A leveling kit for the front is so cheap, that's what I;d do first anyway. Inexpensive and easy to install!

Hmmm...Maybe I'll do a little reading on it.

Here's mine with 285/65/18's with a 2.5in leveling kit. Without a leveling kit it would be a tight fit but i did see a used truck just like mine on the lot with the same tires with out a leveling kit and it didnt look like they rubbed.
