18 Inch Z71 Wheel Question

[snarkee]

Does anyone here have a NBS z71 with the 18inch rims that has upgraded the tires to one size larger?

I want the BFG A/T's but the next size up from the factory 265/65-18 is LT285/65-18 and I am not sure they will fit with the 2 inch levelling kit

 

thanks in advance

I have an 07' NBS Z71 Suburban, and was wondering the same thing.

32.58x11.22, it's a tight squeeze but with that lift it may clear or require minimal trimming.

I think he was talking about a 2" leveling kit which if not mistaken drops the backend of the trucks to make them level with the front ends.

[snarkee]

no I already have the 2inch skyjacker front lift....I did not touch the rear

[cc1999]

That answers my question, if it is tight with a 2" lift, then stock just woundn't work.

285's will fit great

[snarkee]

thanks...now if someone had a picture with them installed lol

Mark,How you doin' man?

I don't have 285s,but I am running 275s,LT275/65R18 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S's to be exact.

They fit great,and I don't see any issues with 285s fitting.

You shoulda' looked at my truck when we were down Charlotte. But you can check out the "My Garage" link in my sig. for pictures.

You getting rid of your 20s?

 

By the way....I got tickets to Bristol in March,You heading down?

Im not going to Bristol and I am not sure what races i am going to this year

 

I miss the off road look that my 20's do not give me....i was looking to get into a 08 sierra all terrain...we will see

Yea,The 20s don't have that "off-road" look.

I'll second the GMC All Terrain We've sold a few of them here,I wouldn't mind one myself!!

Yes they will fit fine, you could probably go a little bigger in fact. I know alot of guys that run 295/70/17 with just the level kit and thats an inch taller than 285/65/18. I was gonna run a 305/65/18 when I had a level kit on mine.
