People with 33 inch tires?

mjj · November 27, 2016

Those look great. I have those same rims and I will be getting the duratracs. Does anybody know why some people's trucks rub using this size and some don't? I'd rather not spend the money and time install a level yet if I can get away with leaving it stock and not rubbing with those tires. They don't rub at full lock or anything?

Here are some more pics of mine at full lock. They do not come anywhere close to the front sway bar or any other suspension parts or frame (first 2 pics). And at the back rear side of the tire they do come close to the carpet wheel well liner but does not ever rub (3rd pic). I can slide my fingers between the gap. On the front side of the wheel well there is even more room (4th pic). I see no signs of rubbing or scuffs anywhere and with the closet spots just being the wheel well carpet material I dont see any big risk. And I've had these on for almost 37k miles.

I had this exact same tire on my 2005 Silverado and it did rub slightly on the suspension at full lock but not on my 2014.

Thank you! That really helps. Makes me feel a little bit better about making the purchase. It definitely looks alot better without those little 255's.

I have 285/70/17 on 17 x 9 aftermarket wheels on a 2015 I have 2.5 leveling kit and there not anywhere near rubbing. Lots of clearance.

****update****

I went to get my LT285/70R17 duratracs put on today. And they rub the rear wheel well ALOT. Luckily I had them only mount one to check. So now I'm back to my 255's all around unfortunately.

Looks like I'll have to raise the front 2 inches before I can get them mounted.

That is surprising. I just looked online amd my Toyo's are 11.5" wide and 32.8" tall and the Goodyear's are 11.5" wide and 33" tall.

Mine is a 14 extended cab, z71. What is your 15?

Timgilardi92 · December 16, 2016

My 15 is just a regular 4x4. I wonder if the z71 has just a tad more clearance.

Finally leveled the front and got the tires on.

Didn't get the blocks on the back yet as my floor jack broke doing the front.

Alignment seemed good after the level but I got it done anyway as they suggest and now it pulls to the right.

So now I'm sitting back at the shop again hoping they can get it straightened out.

I think it looks alot better though.

Too bad I can't seem to figure out how to upload pictures. It says error file too big.

I'd do the rear blocks before the next alignment. I did the 2" front, then later did the 1" rear block and the steering wheel was off a bit surprisingly. Then I did the front 1/2" ....and had it aligned again. I know, should have done it all at once.

And I've seen many stock height trucks put 275/60 20's (33" tall) on with no rubbing issues.

Timgilardi92 · January 16, 2017

Well they got it fixed today at no charge. Turns out the first guy that did my alignment didn't have the steering wheel straight lol.

And really? Hmm I didn't think the rear would mess with the alignment at all. I guess I'll find out lol.

I got 285/70r17 duratracs. Stock they rubbed the wheel well enough I had them take it back off. Good thing it was only a test fit.

But now they look great and no rubbing at all!

Now my truck looks like it should and I'm happy lol.

Pics?

Ricks Munn · January 16, 2017

Any pics of this and what wheels? Exactly what I was looking to do.

And OP - I think you might have a slight bit of rubbing due to that width of tire. 285+ normally has some trimming.

I have 275/70R18 wrangler duratracks on my truck with no issues. I have a Rancho QuickLIFT level though.

I want to post pics but I can't figure it out. It says error file too large. How do I do it?

I'm Leveled 2.5 inch on a 2015 Sierra with 285/65/18 and I rub on big bumps slightly and when backing up wheel fully locked it catches my mud flaps

My LT285/70R17's (17x9 0-offset 5" backspace wheels) never rubbed until I put a set of Weathertech no-drill mudflaps. Now I rub in reverse at full-lock.
