Put some tires on a buddies of mines truck and they look bad ass but i do have a heck of a rub at half lock while turning right. Again these are 305/50/20 in wich should but this at a section with of about 11-12" will this leving kit of about 2" be good with this new body silverado.

not to answer my own question but i think i had figured this out and this will be good info for any other nbs owners. If i lift the front of the truck lets say about 2" i only raise the point of impact to 2" higher than it was, making things worse, if i use a block to raise the rear of the truck about 1.5 or so along with the spacer up front i recreate the slight nose down style that gm has done with all their trucks. This would kinda work again i still have to cut something.

 

So now after talking to numerous manufactures, most nbs siverados should fit no more than a 11.5" wide tire. My toyo open countrys as stated before measured a 12" with.. So if i went down to a 285/50/20 that would measure about 11.5 with.and put me at 31.3 od wich is .3 smaller than the 305/50/20..still close but atleast you can turn your truck.

 

Anyway just some good info for you guys...thanks to Skyjacker,Keystone,Truck outfitters on this one.

I have a 2" lift on mine, but I have 305/55/20's (33/2") and 12" wide. They rub hard. I think the 50s still might strictly because of the width. It will be close. It will def still rub on like downhill turns and flexes I would imagine.
