Biggest tires allowed without rubbing

Aloma80 · March 31, 2017

I'm putting a 2.5 Inch front end leveling kit on my 2014 Silverado and was wondering how big of tires I can put on without any rubbing. I keeping the stock 20 inch wheels and no spacers. I would like to go with a 285/65r20 but some places I'm calling are telling me that's fine and others are telling me it's gonna rub. Hopefully someone here can help me out.

Just depends it varies truck to truck. I can't see you fitting 34.5" tires without rub, most trucks definitely wont. A friend of my brothers barely fit that size with a 3" kit in the front and removed rear block. Which i wouldn't recommend. 33.5x11-12 is about the limit for these trucks without any mods what so ever. I have zero offset and 295/70/17 rub on the sway bar at full lock. Granted i only have 1.8" in the front but i was fortunate enough to have a truck without much stock rake.

I wouldn't chance it less somehow you think you can mod it to fit or can return them.

I have the same truck with 2.5 level. I have 33x12.50x20. The only thing is, when parking, I can't lock the wheels. I had not issues with the toyo AT. I am running toyo MT.

What is your offset?

Whether it rubs will depend on your driving habits pavement princess/mall crawler or PreRunner/mud bogger. Tread style All Season, All Terrain or Mud Terrain and lastly tire size. Inclined to believe the 285/65 will probably rub turning full lock and when doing moderate/serious off road. Might consider a 285/60, 295/55, 285/55 or 275/60 instead if going offroad. Otherwise you can fit 275/65, 305/55, 295/60 or 33x12.5's. YMMV
