What is the biggest/widest tire without lift on 16 1500 z71

We could also set up a google form that allows people to put in their own information...then share the sheet that collects the data.

If I have some free time tonight, I'll try to work something up.

If you do that, you can start with the attachment. This is everything I have gathered so far.

EDIT: A little more detail about the attachment. I gathered as much information as I could from multiple threads and tons of pages from this site. I had to guess on some things (lift/level is front, or both, which I assumed if it was over 3" then the rear was probably modified some how). Not everyone included all details within their post, hence the "????" answers. Very few listed spacers. This is why I included the user name, so if you had questions you could reach out to the person and see what they did with their setup. I felt like I gathered the most important things that would be asked, if it was provided. I tried to get a bunch of different lift sizes and makers. I know that the majority is 2-2.5" levels, but that is what the majority of users do. I filtered the list on tire size, as I felt that was the most important with this topic and you can see what tire size fits with what set-up. Any more insight is accepted, I just used this as a starting point. This will be a growing list as more unique setups are built. Shout out to coke813 for the idea.

I give credit where it is due. I would have never thought of the idea. And I had extra time on my hands with this cold so figured why not help out.

Alright gents, as those of you in this thread have expressed interest, below you'll find links to a form as well as a spreadsheet that will accumulate all of the data. Let me know what you think, please. If we can get enough traction in the leveling thread, I think this could be a huge help for a number of members both new and old.

Worked for me.

Great thread guys! This should help alot of folks undecided on what level and tires to use.

bump.

If you see anyone else ask the dreaded tire size question, without searching the forums first, could you please point them to this post? Adding info to this database could prevent infinite repetitive questions in the future.

Running 275/65r20. Little rubbing on liner, all it took was some zip ties. Updated the matrix you have.

Hey guys, thought Id throw this up here just for informational purposes. Before getting these tires, I researched and researched and never was able to find multiple examples of a definitive answer as far as how big I could go with just a level.

So here ya go, hope this helps:

2015 LTZ Silverado 6.2

Stock GMC polished wheels (caps swapped with bow ties)

275/65r20 TOYO OPEN COUNTRY R/T

No rubbing at all in any direction under any circumstance. I am moving up from 275/60r20 bgf ko2s and I gotta tell ya, these tires ride significantly better with very minimal road noise and they look great. MPGs have taken a hit though, but I didnt get a truck with a corvette engine to get good MPGs.

Hope this helps anyone out there searching to see how big they can go under a leveled truck
