Need a 4" kit for that size.

On a 1500, you'll need more than a leveling kit to clear a 295/65/20. A 295/60/20 might clear with some trimming though, depending on your wheel offset.

I've seen ppl fit true 35x12.5x20 on 2.5" level kits. The 295/65/20 measure out to be 35.4x11.6. My 305/55 barely touch sway bar at full lock and there's plenty of room. I don't mind trimming/tying back liner Edited by Clemsontiger88

Yes, I've seen 35's "fit" too....but most people don't want to start cutting metal on a new truck. Just because it fits, doesn't mean someone would be happy with it.

I don't believe metal would have to be cut but I might give it a try haha.

Yeah, go for it, man! It's your truck, cut on it as much as you'd like, haha! I'd be very surprised if you could clear a true 35x12.50 (or even a 295/65/20) on a level kit (and aftermarket rims) without cutting metal. And, you might rub the sway bar or frame, which can't be trimmed.....but I've been wrong before. If you try it, let us know how it goes. It'll look BA if they fit.

 

To me, when someone want's to know if a certain size tire will fit on their truck, they're asking if they'll be able to turn the steering wheel lock to lock, drive through a ditch, back out of a driveway, etc.....without having to do anything more than pulling the fender liner back with zip ties. That's why I responded the way I did.

That's only a 34" tire right? That will fit with a +15 offset wheel

I'm upgrading my truck tomorrow with Moto Metal MO970 20x9 0 offset with a 2.5" Rough Country Lift. Is anyone running 295 55/20's on a similar setup (I'm getting the Toyo Open Country RT's)? I'm supposed to get it all installed tomorrow and am curious to know if there will be any rubbing that will require some cutting on my truck, it's a 2016 Silverado 1500.

I am on factory 20's. But some dude just posted a couple pages back with nitto ridge graps in 35x11.5 aka 295/65 haha.

 

Im on paved surface 95% of the time and it's a truck, not a jeep. When it does go offload it sure as hell aint through a big ditch or over small boulders so I think ill be alright haha

Yes! 2017 Sierra with 2.5 RC level and 20x9+1 Fuel Mavericks wrapped in 295/55 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Barely scuffs the wheel well liner at full lock. Several others have run a similar set up with no rubbing [emoji106]

Thanks brother! I got it done today and it came out great! I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow.

I know this topic is probably one of the most common points of discussion, but I have a 17 model Silverado 1500 that I had a 2.25 inch leveling kit up front and 3" block kit added out back, I want to keep the stock wheels but upgrade the tires. I was thinking Nitto ATs and was wondering what tire size will work best with this application. don't want to do any cutting of trimming on the plastics etc.

 

Trying to take advantage of the Labor Day sales. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What wheel size do you have? I have the same size 2.25" level in front and 3" blocks out back on my 17. I'm running 295/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on Sierra reps that have the factory offset. Minor rubbing on the plastics at full lock. I could probably zip tie them back and clear them but I'm lazy. f68d498d4c0768ca9ad6430dd085df34.jpg

    • Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles. 
    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
