Leveling And Bigger Wheels And Tires Will This Setup Work

[crazysparky77]

I have a 08 sierra and Im wanting to level the front and put on bigger wheels and tires will this work the tires are super swamper 33x12.5x17 Truxus MT, Max Load 3085, Ply rating 10, O.D. 33.2 and the whhels are 17x9 offset is -12mm 1 and how much will this lift my truck.

Can't say for 100% certainty but between the width of the tires and the offset of the wheels it'll probably rub quite a bit...If you got the stock tires on, I'd say up to 2.5-3 inches of total lift.

With the 4.5 backspacing(-12mm) and the 33x12.5, you need at least a 4.5"+ lift kit-if you go with the CST 4.5 kit it still won't clear without some rubbing.

 

Consider running a skinner tire, or a wheel with closer to stock backspacing(around 5.75", or +18 on a 9"wheel)--but then again check with the lift you'll be running; some of the lift kits require you to have the kind of offset(-) you have to clear the new knuckles/spindles.

would 265x70x17 fit

265x70x17=31.61dia./ 10.43wide. . . statically it should fit

[crazysparky77]

would those tires fit on those rims?

[07SilveradoNoob]

275/70/17, recommended tires widths 17x7.5 to 17x10.5
