Quick Tire Size question

Goldengun4 · September 25, 2017

Brand new here and sitting at work and don't have a ton of time to search the threads. I just got a 2017 Chevy 1500 LTZ Z71 and am putting a 2.5 inch motofab leveling kit in this afternoon or tomorrow. Then the next step will be either BF Goodrich KO2's or Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Would I be able to put 33" tires on there with no rub?

This is my first pickup that I have ever wanted to do anything to and am completely new to the game.

Thanks and Wreck em Tech

Yes, 33's should be no problem

So you are lazy and don't want to search? A red raider that makes sense! You know you can wait a few days before getting new tires to search and see what you like, how it looks and how it fits right? How about some more info? What size rims? What size tires? You can get a wide and skinny 33; so a 33 inch tall tire that is 265 width will fit differently than a 33 inch tall tire that is a 305 width; that matters...

Are you some sort of CEO working 18/7 that you can't spare some time to see what will work? Maybe try searching when you are at home and not on the company dime? There are people on here that run businesses, have multiple kids, travel a ton, have hobbies and kids events to go to that have time to search, they get better and more informed answers that way and are less likely to create a follow up thread titled "why am I rubbing or my ride is rubbish what happened". What is with the laziness of people these days?

Anytime I do anything that is impact-full on my life, has some expense to it or I will have to live with for an extended period of time I do research (from toys to guns to house stuff and cars). I spent a few months making sure I got the right exhaust for my GTO that didn't drone, gained power, had good sound and reasonably priced. I spent lots of time figuring the size and type of level on this truck, ditto with the tires for this truck and whether or not some mods were worth while or fluff. Spent half a few months making sure the shot gun I bought ticked all my boxes or that our fence install was better done correctly by ourselves than a crew of I can only imagine former red raiders (have to throw those jabs in). Only being educated on your decision can you feel good about it. Good luck I guess, I hope you get the hundreds of responses needed to make an informed decision

Wowser, what a negative Nelly.

Tyler, maybe attempt being positive during your future posts, it would make the world a better place.

Assuming you are keeping your stock wheels you should be ok with 275/60/20, 275/65/20, 295/55/20, 285/60/20, 295/60/20, 305/55/20, and 33x12.5x20 tires. You may rub on sway bar at full lock by different degrees depending on the tire you chose.

Assuming you are actually going to drive the vehicle on the road a bit I would consider the ride you will be creating. I have a 2017 that has the roughest, hardest ride that I cant stand that is stock with the 20" polished alumium wheels. I had a 2014 which had the same wheels except they were chrome but other than that the exact size and style. These polished alumium are messed up making the ride unbearable over expansion joints and places where road patching has been done. I am ready to send this truck to a hurricane path.
