Will this tire and a 0 offeset rim combo fit on a 2014 with bilstein 5100 set at level or very slight rake?

It's easy enough to measure your current tire clearances to figure out the conclusive answer to your question.

 

The tire you mentioned is in the area of 12.2 x 32" . But you should find out the real spec for the specific tire you intend to buy.

 

I like the idea of measuring before you do a small lift (level) because suspensions go up and down when you drive. Measuring clearances before you level it will help ensure you won't have rubbing when you hit bumps.

 

When you measure clearances in the front, start the truck and turn the steering wheel to the stops and secure it with the seatbelt. Leave it running. The tight areas will be the lower edge of the plastic fender liner and the sway bar. Using your current tire size and wheel offset, you simply add radius and width changes of the desired tire, then the Change of the wheel offset.

 

Keep a couple things in mind:

- the fender liner is a plastic part that distorts easily, but can also be pulled back and tied off with zip ties or trimmed.

- the tire shape on the corner of the tread my vary from makers.

Thank you. I'll give that a try. As you can tell my goal is to go wider not higher or at least as minimal as possible. Thanks again.

I'm wanting to do the same thing. I have the 2.5 level done already and am about to pull the wheel and tire trigger. I've been doing research and am at the point of I have too much information and am second guessing myself.

The setup I want is a 20x9 +1 offset wheel with cooper stt maxx tires.

The tire measurements are

Section width. Diameter. Tread

12.5. 33.43. 10.28. 305 55R 20

11.1. 34.17. 10. 275 65R 20

 

Anyone have any idea?

My tire guy will do whatever I want but isn't sure what will fit simply because he hasn't done many of these new trucks.

I have Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/55R20 on the factory 20 inch rims, no lift and don't have a problem, other than a very slight rub when hard over to the left and going in reverse. All it does is rub the carpet fender a little. BTW, love the tires, and have 31k on them, will get a lot more from them.
