275 70 18 Toyo Mt

[coontz74]

I have a 2011 GMC 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with a level kit up front and small block in the back. My truck has the 18" wheels from the factory that I'm leaving on.

 

Now to my question, has anyone ran the above mention tire on a setup like mine or VERY similar to my setup that could shed some info on rubbing issues, etc...?

 

I know every truck is not the same but the numbers I have ran through the tire calculator shows there to only be a difference of 1.6" in overall diameter and .4" in the width of the tire that comes factory on my truck (which is 265 65 18).

 

These should fit with no issues right???

 

Thanks

I ran 275/70/18 BF Goodrich AT's on my 08 with a 2" level in the front and had no issues what so ever.

That's what Im thinking so far. I can't see why they wouldn't fit with no trimming? My level kit up front was almost a full 2.5" so I think I will be fine?

 

Thanks for your info!!!

Yeah I didn't do any trimming with those tires. Here are some close up pics when I had that set up.

This second shot makes it look pretty tight but I Never rubbed once while running them

I'll have to look at them when I get home in the am. Work won't let me see the pics...but thanks for including them.

 

I'd really like to do the BDS 6" like you have listed in your signature but funds won't allow for that now. .

 

Can't decide if I should hold off on the tires and save the money for the lift and new wheels and tires?? Decisions, decisions....

I kinda did the same thing.

I got the Level pretty soon after getting the truck and just ran the stock tires and wheels.

Then last Feb or so I got the BFG's and ran them until about May when I went ahead and got the 6" BDS and 35 ATZ's and New wheels. I was able to sell my BFG's so I got some money back.

 

I know its hard to wait but my hindsight says to wait and save for the lift, tires and wheels But I know its hard to wait.

Yea me too on the level kit. I had it waiting at the house before I signed the papers on the truck.

 

Looking on BDS website, I'm not sure I could justify spending $2500 for a lift then the cost of tires and wheels to probably trade it for an HD in the near future. My wife would KILL me..haha

 

Sure wish I could find that money tree....

Just FYI if you do get a BDS lift, you can get it cheaper from suppliers than from the BDS web site. I paid like 1500 for mine with gas shocks and braided brake lines from All Terrain Fabrications in Texas. There's another site that sells them cheaper but can't think of it right now.

Thanks man for the heads up!! I'll check into them...

BFGs tend to run small FYI. I haven't had Toyo tires, but I hear they run more true to size.

I have had no problems with the 275/70/18's. I think its the best fit you can find with the 2 inch leveling kit.

My dad is running 275/70R18 Michelin LTX MS2's on his work truck now. It just has a leveling kit and it rubs BAD!! But he also has a pretty heavy duty grille guard on it and when looking at the truck I think it is just rubbing on the mudflaps.

 

He just got his new truck in so when the paperwork is finished on that I'm buying his old one. I plan on taking off the grille guard and the mudflaps and seeing if that helps the rubbing issue, especially if you guys are running them with no problems.
