Just installed a Kryptonite Stage 3 Levelling kit on my '21 AT4 HD and I am debating between tire sizes to run on the stock wheels.  
 
Main considerations for me are;
- no rubbing on frame or control arm at full lock or during suspension articulation while driving off road.
- ideally no wheel spacers to make it work
-  trimming or tying back liners is no issue but id rather not start hacking things up beyond that.
 
Tire sizes I'm looking at
35x12.5R20 - which clearly fit no problem as per the above post.  Very similar to stock size (except wider) which looks a bit on the small side with the levelling kit (IMO).
325/60R20 - has anyone that's run this size on stock wheels that can comment on fitment?  This seems like the best size IMO, also comes in factory load & speed rating which is nice.
37x12.5x20 - Sounds like these work with no cutting just wheel spacer and some trimming?  
 
Any & All comments are welcomed.  Looking at the Toyo AT3 as my favourite.  Unfortunately they're hard to find in Canada right now, especially in the 325/60R20 size.


With the 35x12.5 you won’t have any issues other than the kryptonite control arm. The wider tires will rub on them with your stock rim offset. 11.5 wide tires will work. If you want to keep the rims, you will need spacers with 12.5 wide.

Not the best pic, but this was right after she was done, and I was dropping the old tires off at the old mans for him to give to a friend..NO rubbing, NO cutting/bending anything..

Now I’m confused!  One says zero rubbing with 35x12.5 on stock wheels with the kryptonite stage 3 and the other saying it will rub for sure.  ??‍♂️

I believe the other guy has after market wheels with high offset. This truck, the white one in the pic has the Kryptonite stage 3 with Fox 2.0 and stock Denali wheels. I have 0 rub..

This was rubbing with stock rims. Maybe it’s the tire selection because they rubbed with Maxis MT 35x12.5. Had to get new rims.

If it's not too much hassle, I'd be curious to see your clearance with that setup - this is what my truck currently looks like with factory wheels and stock 275/65R20 tires.. I'd say max 3/4" clearance before UCA is rubbing on the tire with the wheels pointed straight ahead.

I took a pic to show you the clearance, I didn't measure but it's not allowing me to upload it for some reason. But from my pic its really not all that much closer.

I’m sorry but I think you will rub if you bump up to 12.5 width. You have 3/4” clearance now. Stock tires are 10.5” wide if I remember correctly? So adding 1” to each side will certainly make them rub.

I’ve been running the Kryptonite Stage 3 kit for a while now with 35x12.5x20 on 20x9 with a +10 offset with no rubbing issues at all, just enough tire poke to give it a more aggressive look that it needed! 3a7d03ac2becffde0d41333748b0d142.jpg280ef74c8335a15a9348dc9a51350cc9.jpg

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
