285/65r18 is the largest you can go with stockers on a 2.5 level without fear of rub. I'm running 275/65r18 and all I can advise on that is don't get this size, especially in BFGs that tend to run narrow anyway. Way too small a tire on a leveled truck.

 

285s look just OK, but still a little small. They look a little better in Nitto and Cooper because BFGs have a very narrow treadwidth and sidewalls with little bulge (section width). The 295/70 looks incredible, but on stockers you are going to rub UCA and Swaybar at full lock if you can live with that and KO2 don't come in that size. You can get away from rub with about a +6 offset or a 1" spacer if you want to cut your studs.

 

Sounds cheesy, but I am so torn over this issue because I don't want a bro-dozer but I also don't want to go 285 and be disappointed for 3 years like I am with my 275s.

 

I'm considering the new Falken AT3W in 305/65r18 as there is at least one truck on this forum running that with a level and claiming no rubbing. I care way more about width as seen coming and going rather than 1/2" taller side profile.

i think you answered your own question...no? I would say that although on paper 275 and 285 are so close, in person on a truck, they are significantly different. As you said, 285 are about as big as you can get on stock rims, with a level, without rubbing (that is what my research told me before i got my tires too)...I am one of many people on this site that absolutely love their 285's...mine are KO2's...For me they are the perfect size...look beefy, but yet dont stick out and sling rocks and mud all over the side of my truck...

 

good luck on your hunt for the perfect tire! :driving:

Still trying to figure out if a 285/65/18 with stock chevy wheels will clear with only a 2" level?

I'd be surprised if this size would rub at stock height!

Mine above are 285/65/18. No level and no rubbing. I had to zip tie the fender liner to the frame. If I remember correctly theres 1/2-1" you gain when you pull it in tight.

the stock tires on my old 2008 2wd 20" rim was 275/55r20...if you compare the size, it is almost identical to the 285/65r18...minus the tread difference in a highway tire and all-terrain or off road...

 

having said all that, with a 2" level, yes you absolutely can fit it...

I just bought a 2016 Silverado LT Z71, what's the biggest tires I can put on it without a lift of leveling kit? It has 18" wheels now.

There's a massive thread on wheel+tire setups that will provide you a wealth of information and more assurance than one person telling you an answer here.

 

And there's also a lot of recent threads where people ask that info, like this one

It's all relative to height and offset IMO

 

 

this is a 285/70/17, Bilstein 5100 all around, 17x9 +6 wheel...no front on shot unfortunately.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
