Got mine taken care of this weekend.  275/60/20 Ridge Grapplers and a 2" RC leveling kit.

I think I'm going to pick up some vinyl and black out the emblems, get an exhaust put on, and get a tonneau cover, and that's pretty much it.  I'm really happy with the truck overall and can't see getting rid of it any time soon.

This makes me wonder if my 275/65/20 tires will work with a level.  They are the same width...just a little taller.

  The 275/65-20 is a full inch more diameter than the 275/60-20.  That is not "just a little taller."  When dealing with these trucks and levelling kits, that's ALOT taller.

 Ok I can agree with that.  But the rubbing is only with wider tires right?  Not taller.

 

As of right now I have 0 rubbing on my 2018 Sierra Max Tow

Just had the Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/60/20XL done on my 17 Sierra. Love the ride, just need to figure out the correct tire pressure. Any recommendations?

Thanks, I did the chalk test yesterday and 37psi seems to be the sweet spot on mine.

Have you picked out wheels and tire?

[Gunslinger354]

I actually like the stock rims but tires im leaning towards nitto graplers

Give you some advice, didn’t notice whether it’s a 15 and up but mid 15 the dreaded new stamped UCA’s came to be and I myself had serious issues leveling, adding 275/60/20’s with horrible rubbing. Pick out your tires first and see if they rub and go from there before you invest in wheels too. This way, you’ll know the offset required to clear in the event it rubs.

Good advice but I have 22's with the ultimate Denali package and want to go to 17" wheels...  I figure I will follow your lead and get 285/70-17 KO2s on 17x9 Pro Comps.  If they rub, you can pay me for new tires.

 

BTW I can't find "17x9 et -6 Pro Comps" on their website - this is the closest I found = SERIES 5045, 17X9 WITH 6 ON 5.5 BOLT PATTERN - SATIN BLACK. Is that the right wheel?
