id like to know if leveling kit would allow me to fit 305/70/16 mickey thompson baja claws on my 1500 Silverado 1500 Z71.

You probably won't have any problems at all. Unless, of course, you plan on steering your truck or just driving it in general.

word I run 285s and they rub on off camber situations. 33s are too big without a lift from a looks and function standpoint. they'll work with some triming or if you just try down the street everyday. but I don't think it looks good. JMO.

285's are 33's. 305's are as well, just a little wider than the 285's. I've had both on my truck, but it has a body lift.

no sir, that's a case by case basis. my 285 Nitto Terra Grapplers are not 33s. OVERALL DIAMETER: 32.68

ok? so lets sweat less than 1/2 an inch? lol

makes a LOT more difference than you think. that's what she said.

Sometimes 1/3" is the difference between rubbing and not rubbing...

I ran 305/70/R16 Baja Claws on my truck.....I loved the look. But it was hard to turn sharp. But if I had a choice? I would go back to that size again.

yeah i mean look at it like ol school hot rods. not everything is very functional for the look or power. you want the 305 look. jus give a lil in the rubbin category.

Close enough. I've never heard anyone say the were running 32.68, or 32.83's in my case.

 

Hell, even a 35x12.50x15 isn't exactly that.

[Jackson]

no offense, but a 32.6" tire is not considered a 33 and like was said above is the difference between rubbing an not rubbing.

 

so lumping all 285s in and saying they are 33s is incorrect. obviously it depends more on the second number.

I run a 305/50R20 Toyo Open Country A/T and it measure 32.0 inches on the dot. So, since we're rounding, that's a 32 inch tire, not 33.
