Will they fit...?

New to the forum and I need some guidance on tires and wheels for my 2005 Z71 Crew Cab 1500. This is my 5th chevy truck, but I don't want to do a lift, only add some beefyness to it with better tires and wheels.

 

Looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler in a 295/70/R17 which is pretty close to a 33" tire

I know I'll have to crank the torsion bars in the front and probably do a bit of plastic trimming and then get everythign aligned. Aside from that, does anybody see any other issues I might have?

 

Thanks in advance your help , I'm pretty useless when it comes to the mechanics of a vehicle...

Just a little crank should clear them i wouldnt think you need to trim.

They fit with very little trimming or trouble and it looks great!! 295/70/R17 is the tire size and with the torsion bars cranked just a bit, I get no tire rub whatsoever!!
