What size wheels? Someone correct me, but regardless you'll have to trim/raise something. I am thinking they will fit with a serious T-bar crank and some trimming as long as your wheels allow it. It is amazing how tires "fit" different with different sized wheels.

16" wheels, and i BELIEVE the rims are 8 wide

 

The wheels on the picture? Looks like you have 265s or 285s now? The only thing that may keep you from 305's is the chrome part on the front bumper. You can trim everything else if needed, but its hard to get around steel. Mine pictured has 16x8 wheels with 285s and they barely clear the front bumper now when steering. I only turned my bars a couple of turns, but I think you'll need more than just that. The easiest and cheapest may be to just get an aftermarket bumper rather than messing with the suspension and ride quality.

Alternatively I have heard that you can loosen the bumper bolts and slide it forward a bit.

I really don't see what the big deal is. That is what a forum is. A discussion. I'm sure you have had the same basic conversation with several people. His specific application may differ from someone elses. IMO if you just don't want to be bothered by reposts, ignore them and move on. You don't have to read the post, nor do you have to reply. Sorry for the rant Sean.

Exactly. Couldn't have said it any better.

Trim and crank. crank alot it might just be worth it to get a leveling kit. I did fit 315's on my half ton with new keys and cranking the t-bars. However its an older body style so it doesnt help out to much but the tires were on a 16x8 rim without to much bulging so you should be ok on rim width.

***Thread jack alert***

 

Ivan, how loud is your exhaust, is it loud just for the sake of being loud, or does it have a nice rich tone to it? I'm asking because I'm looking into a truck similar to yours, and it would help if I knew what to expect after the exhaust mod.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
