Couple Tire & Wheel Questions

[Doomsday]

Time to buy new tires, thinking of buying new wheels aswell. I have the Truxx leveling kit and I'm thinking of going with 33's, will they fit without trimming? Also I'm thinking of downgrading from the 18" z71 wheels to some 17" steelies, what offset are the stock z71 18's so I can get the same offset in the steelies? 17's clear the brakes right?

Yes 17s clear and factory offset is +31. As far as trimming we need to know what offset, what tires and exact size.

285/70/17 clear but 305/65/17 might rub

I would just assume use the factory offset on the new wheels, and whatever tires fit that don't rub.

How about 305/65 on a 17 with bs at 4.5"?

as a matter of pepersonal preference I like more tire than wheel, plus I like the look of steelies and they are cheaper too.

 

Can anyone recommend and bs and tire size in 33 that will fit with no rub.

As nadielite stated earlier, factory backspace is +31. So a 285/70/17 on a 17" wheel with factory or close to factory backspace will not rub.
