Leveling Kit And Tire Size

[Redneck56]

I was just talking to a mechanic around here and he said that they have had people do the leveling kits then try and fit 285" tires on they that theyve had to do some serious trimming out of the wheel wells, i was just wondering if any of you have changed your tire sizes and what your running and if youve had this problem.

I was told that some 285/70/17 may rub a little. I find this hard to believe. It it my personal that they will fit with no problems. I let ya know when I get mine.

I have NBS Sierra with a 1.5" leveling kit and 305/60/18 tires and they barely rub. Had to take out the center pop rivet but otherwise have done nothing else.

Well...I think I'm gonna do a levelling kit with 35" tires (315/70/17)...can you guys foresee any major issues, I know I'm gonna have to do a bit of trimming, but it should all fit right?

The only way I think that will fit is if you remove the fenders all together. But heck give it a try and let me know how it works.

Yeah.........uhhhhhhhhh, thats not going to work. I heard 33x12.5 are about as large as you can go.

Well here is leveling and 275/60-20 which is 33x11.5 they measure out to 32.5 on the truck..they did rub a little when turned and backing up...mostly on the mudflap, but also on the inner fender liner on the pass. side.

NICE. Are those the Cooper Zeon LTZs by any chance? Closer picts of them?

[8100HD]

tires are Nitto Terra Grapplers

Hey 8100HD,

What type of leveling kit did you install? The height of your truck is what I am looking for.

 

Thanks,

i have a 2'' ready lift leveling kit and 305/50/20 20x10 kmc rockstar wheels

[sciggs]

i have 285's on mine no leveling kit and i get no rub at all. I cranked my torsion bars just for the look but they did not rub even before i turnned them.

I dig the look of the rockstars, good taste 1st, but I am going to try and shoehorn the 33x12.5R20 nitto mud grapplers with a 2.5 level kit, any advice? anybody other than me think it will fit?

[jhndizzle]

sic go ahead and do it man, it should work just depends on how wide your rims are. send pics when its done.
