Largest Tire on Factory 17in Wheel

Brent Passage · November 11, 2020

New to the forum so hello everyone. I tried to use the search function earlier to find what I was looking for but didn't come up with the information I was looking for. I have a 2019 Silverado and am looking to put some larger tires on it to help off road. i use this truck as a work truck, so it spends a good amount of time bouncing through fields and forest. I installed a 2 inch Rough Country leveling kit and was hoping to fit 285/70-17's on the stock wheels. Will I have some clearance issues with the upper control arms or do you guys think the new tires will fit ok? Thanks and sorry for the long post!!

I didn't know the T1's came with a 17 inch wheel. Is your 2019 the old or new body style?

It's the new body style. It's an LT that came stock with 265/70-17's. I think the bigger tires will work because I have already leveled the truck, I was just wondering about the Upper Control Arm clearance.

My 2020 Silverado LT came stock with 255/70 R17 General All Season tires. I really wouldn't want anything much larger in diameter with the 3.23 rear.

34 x 10.5 x 17 - Nice to have over 8 inches of sidewall. They fit fine on GMT900s and K2s, not sure about T1s but I think you have more room in there then we do.
