[ktm237]

ok so first off I want to say im new here and I've tried over and over to search and its not working out. so, sorry if there is already a thread with this

 

i just bought a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd a few months ago. I'm getting a 2.5 level installed and would love to run 285/75r17. does anyone run this setup or tried to?

You'll have a slight rub in reverse at full lock... Nothing to worry about.

are you running the fox coils? or what level kit? yours is exactly the look I want with different rims tires though. glad to know they fit. you didn't have to trim anything did you?

[gabekalp]

They are kings and it gives about a 2.5" lift

I have the Readylift 2.25" with Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset and 285/70/17 Duratracs. Only a very very slight graze of the felt wheel liner in reverse at full lock. With 2.5" you will be fine.

Sorry, what do you mean by what's "od" on 285/75r17

285/70R17 is a common (nearly) 33" tire for 17" wheels. A 285/75R17 is an uncommon size. Hence he's asking what the overall diameter is in inches. Are you sure you haven't mistakened a 285/70r17 with a 285/75r17?

Exactly what I was asking.

Oh gotcha! No I have not mistaken the 285/70r17 for 285/75r17. The OD IS 33.8 on the 285/75r17, so about an extra inch.

I think you're going to need a bit more than then 2.5" level to run 33.8 (~34") tire. I could be wrong though.

The very first picture posted on this thread is the silver Silverado. He's running 285/75r17. We will find out next Tuesday if it works or doesn't work. I'm ordering the rims and tires today.

Cool, good luck.

 

What rims and offset and width, that will play into it as well.

 

That first pic looks a little nose high, is the rear on stock blocks or raised too? Might just be the angle.

I'm going to be running 2.5 level with 285/75r17 toyo at2 or cooper at3 (I want the toyo but the coopers are cheaper and way abkut 10 pounds less per tires) with fuel boost 17x9 4.75 back spacing with 0 offset
