Post some pics! I'm on the same boat as you were before you upgraded your tires. Thanks! 

Here's a couple pics. Been very snowy here lately so truck looks like crap. No rub but close.20200104_140512.thumb.jpg.5e40d9a4a7d246107d21b0d719e114b8.jpg20200104_134522.thumb.jpg.d6d74f7e69befc4d96c366a8e4d13759.jpg

Like the look! How close are you to rubbing? I'm ordering 305 45 22. Same size as stock but wider

Look's great! Leveled? 2 inch ?

Any rub at full lock in reverse or driving into a driveway?

Would it be possible to get close up pic's from the back of the fender at full turn?

thank you,

I havent bought my tires yet. Still debating on the 305/45 and the 285/50 and 33x12.5

Still dont know if I want to keep the stock wheels or change out to something else with slightly less offset to get the tires flush with the body.

So many options and I dont want it to rub either haha.

And still debating on a 4"bds lift or 2" level.

Yes 

I ordered my truck with the brembo upgrade option front and rear. 
and I love them. 
They do have the sensors on them the info on the dash gives me the percentage of wear 

front 80% 

rear.  80%

They drive nice. I keep them at 40lbs pressure so I didn't notice any difference with the ride. The biggest change is how much better they are than the stock crap in the snow and ice. We've had quite a bit of snow and a few bad storms and haven't had any trouble getting around. They are a little bit noisier but the only time I really notice it is if I'm on smooth concrete and radio is off or very low. It doesn't bother me at all but as this truck is still the quietest I have ever owned. 

I have used BFG KOs on my last 3 trucks and love that tire so will be interesting to see how I like these after a year or 2.

Those are E rated LT tires vs P,  62 lbs vs 41lbs stock. How was the ride impacted? What psi are you using? Any drop in mpg? How is the stability at highway speeds? I am loving the idea but afraid of the consequences.

I love to hear about this too...

I too ordered my truck with the brembo, however I have no sensors in the front. Saw your post and went straight to the dealer, they told me the sensors don't fit with the brembo . Who is your dealer?

Koons Tyson’s gmc Chevrotet Buick 

In Vienna Virginia. 
the service advisors are not the greatest they have a god complex, however their techs are good and they put the sensors on. And work as intended. 
I can try to see if I can find out if a different part number for the sensors were used.

Can anyone confirm if 305/45/22 fit on stock suspension? Looking to fit them on 22x9 oe replicas with +28 offset. I have a 21 sierra elevation. 

 

Thanks!

Good point. This is something that is often overlooked in the hunt for a better look/stance. Moving to an LT is fine if you plan on doing the heavy work/hauling/off-roading but if just for aesthetics, I think it makes sense to stay in the P rating (Passenger) for performance. Adding a 50% heavier and harder tire will affect mpg and ride. Nitto does offer a 305/45r22 that stays in the P rating and is only about 3-4 lbs heavier than stock. I have seen on other posts that the 305/45 will fit on stock gm rims.
