Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up

Silva · February 12, 2015

Hey guys,

First off I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to a wheel/tire set up to excuse my ignorance.

I have a 2014 Sierra DC on stock general grabber 255/70/17. I'm looking to upgrade my set up to Toyo Open Country AT2 275/60/20 on OE All-Terrain wheels. My question here is there much of a difference in appearance between a P275/60/20 and a LT275/65/20? Besides the height difference, does the LT have a more aggressive tread pattern? I'm adding a 2" level and I've read on these forums that the 275/60/20 fit with no problems.

I don't want to move to a LT since I'm mostly city driving (no towing), plus I don't want the added weight of the tire. But if the P rated tire looks significantly different I might go with the LT.

If you have plans to take the truck offroad a lot, then the rest of this post isn't really necessary for you to read. But if you plan to stay on the road 95% of the time and do light offroad, then this will help answer your question. I know that BDS was able to fit 37" tires on their 6" lift kit WITHOUT rubbing on a 20x8.5 w/ 5.475" backspacing.

heres the email I got from BDS. I was talking to them about their coil-over vs non coil-over kit and also asked them what size tires are on the black sierra that is shown from the side on their website when you look at the 6" kit

The side view shot is the 6’’ kit with 37x12.50 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3s mounted on 20x8.5 (5.475’’ Bsing) Eagle Alloy 178s. R&D was checking fitment at the time, they actually didn’t rub much for around town driving with that particular BS. For regular offroad driving trimming would be needed.

I would think that if you use a 22" rim with the same backspacing and width, and a tire with similar dimensions then you should be fine. If you don't mind doing a little trimming then you could probably change to a 13.5" tire instead of a 12.5"

Here is mine with a 3" lift/level and 22" Raceline with 33/12 tires.

yes there is a bit of difference the tread and the pattern on the side wall sticks out a bit more - the extreme size tires are even more aggresive. I looked at these before buying my duratracs almost bought them but wanted a more agressive look. If you are looking to stay with the 275/60 r20 the bfg k02 looks nice its load range d .

I have an rc 2 inch level and just mounted the 275 /65 r 20 duratrac . at full lock they rub the liner. I pulled back the liner with a cable tie and no rubbing what so ever. Very happy I did this. will post pics later

Thanks buddy I appreciate you're help. Yeah I would like to stay with that size just for my peace of mind. I was looking at the bfg k02's as well but they are much more expensive, but for the more aggressive tread I might have to go that route. I'd have to see the Toyo's at that size so I can compare the tread difference.

Does anyone know if a 315/50-24 tire will fit with just a leveling kit or even just on a stock setup?

Probably not. That is over 36" in diameter.

Thanks, I literally just realized that as well. Guess that's a no go lol

Wheels: Ultra Baron 18x9 +12 offset.

Tires: Big O Big Foot A/T 275/65R18E

2" leveling kit.

No rub but, the tires are so close to stock, that would be the case even without the leveling kit.

I forgot to mention I wanted black walls out but a few minutes with a palm sander will take the white off and avoid unnecessary remounting.

Man that blue is so pretty. Nice truck man.

Thanks. I still debate whether I should have gone with white so it's nice to hear from someone with a sweet looking white one.

I have read the entire thread and need some help. I haven't seen many tire upgrades with factory wheels. I am wanting to go to a 305 55 20 trail grappler or 295 55 20 trail grappler with my factory 20s. Will either rub?

And if I decided to get 20x10 aftermarket wheels what offset would I need to get to avoid rubbing? I have a 2" rc level

Hozer · February 25, 2015

I'm not sure about those specific sizes but there's a comparison tool on rimsntires.com that makes it pretty easy to see the difference between wheel and tire sizes.
