Hey guys i recently picked up a 2015 Silverado LT 4x4. It came with the 20" wheels which are nice, but i really want a set of bigger tires without having to lift the truck. I really like the XD addict wheels with some more aggressive tires. Anyone know whats the biggest I can run?

The biggest tire you can prob run stock, NO level, NO lift would be a 275/60/20. If you go after market wheels like XD with a smaller offset than stock (+27), (XD wheel with a +1 offset or anything negative) you will be able to run a 285/55/20. Good luck choosing a tire though...... There are tons out there and everyone has a different review on all of them

Thanks guys. I ended up leasing the truck to see how I like it, so lifting, leveling it are put of the question right now. I just would really like to add some aftermarket wheels to set my car apart.

I put 305/50/20 without leveling. Nitro Terra Grapplers. Tires aren't really taller than stock but much wider. Here's a picture. I have it leveled now but it didn't rub before the level. Key is offset at factory or more.

I know you guys are talking 20s, but do you think 285/60/18 (32" OD) will fit at stock height?

Absolutely should fit stock height. By my calcs the height is more like 31.5".

 

For stock 20" wheels and 275/55/20 stock tires, stock height is 31.9"

You need a leveling kit at least, with that, most you can do is 33's

I'm running 35's on just a leveling kit and only barely scrub at a very harsh turn

Damn! Looks good! But a 3 inch level is pretty much almost a lift kit haha

it's rubbing on the far inside bottom corner of the carpet type material. I could cut it and wouldn't anymore I just haven't got to it. And yeah I need to take more though! 9c5ff40b2e90f75718be817084eaad86.jpg9a5196769610afa122a1c712a6d4cbc1.jpg

Looks good Coop.

 

 

Keep in mind a 3" leveling kit is a bit extreme on the front end, BFGs run quite small compared to other makers and the stock wheels help immensely.

 

Op, I would go with a 305/50.
