tyrich88 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 285 with a -12 offset. GMC put's a coating on the underside of the SLT that protects the paint from road debris and chips pretty well. not sure if its on all models and chevy's as well. Man, those tires look so much beefier than my 275s! Now I want to get new tires! How wide are those rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBum5.0 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 For the guys worried about rock chips, keep an eye on the leading edge of the bed as well. I had some damage there from rocks and had 4" of 3M put on the length of the leading edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaazooo Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 These are 275/65/18 on 18x9 +12 offset. The sidewall is flush with the top of the fender opening. My favorite color. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson99 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) I took my truck in for a fitting. I tried a 305/55/20 Nitto mud tire on Fuel nutz 20x9 +1 offset. The rim and wheel isn't my 1st choice but I wanted to see what fits and that's what my tire dealer had to play with.I'm running a RC 2" level up front, stock rear. I rubbed the liner at full lock. I could zip tie it back and it might work or I'm thinking about running a 33x12.50 tire. I think it's slightly smaller than the 305s.No matter what I decide it will totally transform the look of the truck.My 1st choice setup is Nitto Ridge Grappler and Fuel Maverick 20x9 +1.I just need to be patient until the Grappler's are released.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Edited August 8, 2016 by Robinson99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk I like that wheel on your truck, looks good! I want to run a 305/65/17 on mine, and I'm +0 on 17x8.5. I am hoping that won't rub the liner.

I am hoping that won't rub the liner. Thanks, I really started to like it once it was on the truck, the tire dealer made me a good offer on the setup but I just wasn't sure. They're going to order the rim I want and I'll compare them side by side. I love the look of the mud tire but I'm afraid of the ride and gas mileage. The tire you're talking about will look really beefy in a good way! Good luck, hope it fits! Edited August 8, 2016 by Robinson99 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look like they might be pretty heavy though not too thrilled about load range F either.

My tire dealer contacted them and didn't get much more than I did. Hopefully in the next 30 days, fingers crossed.

I'm already running E rated 285/70/17, so I am thinking the addition hit won't be too bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
