285/70/17 On Stock Height

[ahenre]

i put my 285/70/17 on my truck while it was still stock height with no rubbing whats so ever.

pics before the lev kit.

The tires on the two pics you posted are 285's? They look nice. And no rubbing whatsoever without a leveling kit?

I have 285/60/18 on my '09 stock, general AT2 load range E, fitted fine.

Would 285/70/17. Mud tires rub on a stock 2006 Silverado LT 4x4?

I have a 2013 gmc 1500 2wd nbs. Has anyone cleared a 285/70/17 on a stock wheel with a 2in or 2.25in Leveling kit? I'm looking at the wildpeak at3 or ridge grappler. Lots of replies are related to 4wd trucks I think. Mine came stocknwith 245/70/17.

You have an NNBS  and I believe that should clear pretty easy

Right on. Now that I read your reply, I just thought to myself that there is only one body style for that year anyways. I was kind of zoning out earlier when I asked the question.

All good brother but you should fit. Those trucks have a bit more tolerance than the previous gen in terms of wheel housing. I'd search for 33" tires on a level GMT-900 to make doubly sure

So mine came with 245/70/17 and only has an exact 2in rake. I ordered a 2.25in kit, but now need to exchange it for a 2in kit. I don't want to be nose high at all. I wonder if the ones that have a higher rake (2014+ possibly) come with 265/70/18, or just the 4wd come with the larger. I have scoured the internet and half a dozen local shops and get so many mixed answers. I always thought rule of thumb with a level kit was to go up two sizes.

Here are my current measurements before any level. With my math 285 should clear.

 

FR 35 3/4 hub to fender 21 5/8
RR 37 3/4
FL 35 5/8 hub to fender 21 5/8
RL 37 3/4

 

Stock front tire
Back tire to well 1 3/4
Front tire to well 3in

 

Specs from current Michelin ltx ms2 and new ridge grappler

245 to 285
32.76 - 30.52 = 2.24 ÷ 2 = 1.12

I went with ridge grappler 285/70/17 tires and 17x8.5 0 offset wheels. The driver front rubs the rear well when turning left in reverse. The passenger front rubs a little too. I ditched the new wheels today and put the new tires on the stock wheels. They clear with no issues and actually look better than expected. I have a set of 17x8.5 +18 wheels on the way. They should clear just fine. I only tried the zero offset a couple weeks ago because they were in stock and the others have been sitting in the port for 2 months.

285/70/17 ridge grapplers back on stock wheels. No rubbing at all.
