2002 Silverado dropped 2in front 4in rear

ronmac · October 10, 2005

I have a 2002 Silverado dropped with a McGaughys drop kit of 2 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear. Recently, I purchased Silverado SS wheels and need to know what size tires are best for this truck configuration. I am considering putting on 285/50-20, but concerned that it may be too big and cause some rubbing on turns. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you.

The best size I found fir that drop was a 275/45/20

My goal is to gain approximately 1 inch in additional height. That is why I'm questioning whether 285/50-20 (31.2 tire height) will work for me. 275/45-20 (29.8 tire height) will lower my truck about half an inch. Currently, I'm running with 255/70-16 (30.2 tire height) and have about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the front tire to the body and 2 1/2 inches from the back tire to the body. Another tire size I'm considering is 265/50/20 (30.4 tire height).

Anyone, please advise.

I have a 2/4 drop on my 05 Silverado and I am running 285/50s. They rub like a son of a b... Driving is fine, but when I turn they rub. They look sweet as hell though. They really fill out the wheel well nicely. I would maybe suggest 275s.
