Will a 2.5" Leveling kit let me run 305-55-20 tires?? 2007 LTZ

mcbassin · April 26, 2012

I am considering new wheels and tires for my 2007 Chevy. The tires I am considering are Pro-Comp

305-55-20. I am also thinking about buying new wheels. Anyone have this same setup?

can I just install the simple 2-2.5" leveling kit? What offset should the new wheels have? any help?

thanks,

Newby Mike

Yes but will rub so....no

If you keep your stock rims....they might fit....but you may need to trim quite a bit. The 305/50/20 is a safe alternative that will also look really good.

This kit states that it will work guaranteed http://www.readylift.com/c-122-chevy-silverado-1500-2007-2012-2wd-4wd-6-lug-225.aspx#estimateshipping

No where do they state the tire size will work. Your tire is a 33.2x12.

Just search this issue on the fourm and you will quickly find that trimming will be required.

But to each his own.

With 4" lift I still had rub at full lock. Switched to 265/70/17, no rub, better gas mileage and way cheaper to replace the rubber.

I’m running it right now with no rubbing at all. I think the trick is to keep your stock rims. If you offset, then ya’ll have to trim.

Will rub with 30mm offset?

ChaseN · May 10, 2012

if they have a 30mm offset, they shoudn't rub.

stock offset is 31mm (IIRC).

Old post i know.... i have 2.5 level n front and i am running 295 55 trail graps.. there is no possible way to fit more tire under there without rubbing i also have stock 20" wheels and have actually rubbed twice while backing.
