I'm on that size tire but have the 2" SST. Very minor rubbing when turned going over a bump. Normal conditions, nothing.

 

 

What wheel offset?

No good ones but here you go.

 

285/75/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Stock 18s

No wheel spacers

Zero Trimming.

Zero way to go any wider of a tire without hitting the Ready lift UCAs unless wheel spacers are added, which will probably cause more rubbing issues.

Only rubbing as mentioned above (Slight rub going over a bump at full lock)

 

Truck has a 1 to 1.25" rake with the 2" SST.

Here is my 2019 with same Ready Lift SST kit.  Also some photos of clearance of stock 275/75/18's on  on Method NV's which are a 12mm offset versus 26mm for stock.  So 285's would be very tight with RL UCA - but there is more room with stock UCA's

For reference, here is my tire clearance with the RL UCA (Tire specs in above post). 

Note that the outter lugs on the tire are not offset in the image so clearance is less than shown.

I've articulated the suspension pretty well to check for rubbing and haven't caught any marks yet but it is certainly close.

I'm convinced on this size tire, it will 100% come down to actual tire selection and not all 285/75/18's will fit without wheel spacers.

Anyone successfully put 285/75r18 tires on a stock AT4? I am looking at this size in the Falken Wildpeak AT3/W, they measure out to 34.8” tall and 11.2” wide. 

They'll fit fine as long as you only drive in a straight line.  You WILL HAVE rub with the inboard front fender liner and "probably" in the rear of the fronts at the mud flap and/or liner.  I just installed 285/75/18 on OEM wheels on my AT4 with the Rough Country 1318 - 2" leveling kit and they just clear at full lock and no articulation.  I imagine if the suspension is heavily loaded while off-roading and near full lock I will rub the fender liner on the inboard side in the front.  It's really close without any articulation.  Tires I installed are the Toyo Open Country AT3 in 285/75/18 which are 34.8" x 11.3".  If I do rub it will be minimal and I can get a little more room if I zip tie the liner back as many have done.  Anything wider than 11.3" would cause me problems.

Has anyone run 295/60-20 tires on a 20x9 wheel with near zero offset and a leveling kit?  Ive seen other AT4s running this tire on a stock wheel with 26 offset, but not sure if the ~1" shift in wheel position would cause rubbing.  I'm also concerned with the difference between no rubbing on the pavement and no rubbing while light off-roading.  I could go with the 285/60-20 and be fairly comfortable, but I wanted the 295.  If i go 295/55-20, im not gaining much in diameter and it sort of seems like im not using my money wisely.  Why cant there be a 295/57.5-20?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
