Are the tires on that silver silverado that you guys have in the pictures for the two in leveling kit really 33″ tires? They look larger
At the time the photo was shot we were testing clearance of a 35×12.50 tire on 20×9 wheels. They fit in there, however there was some minor trimming necessary to keep it from rubbing.
What did you have to trim to keep from rubbing?
Inner fender liner and lower valance on the front bumper had to be trimmed and there was still contact occasionally offroad. Easiest way is to mount the wheels/tires on the truck, turn the wheels side to side and trim accordingly until they don’t rub
What is the offset on the 20×9 rims with 35s on them?
I believe these was the 20×9 Dick Cepek GunMetal 7 wheels that have a (5.5″ Backspacing/ +13mm Offset)
I seen your truck with the 2 inch leveling kit and 35 inch tires. Can you tell me what offset you were using I have a 3 inch body lift and want the tires to stick out as far as possible
@Michael, we were able to fit 35×12.50 tires on a 20×9 (5” backspacing) wheel on our 2014 GM 1/2-ton with only minor trimming. As you stick the tires out farther you’ll have more of an issue with rubbing
If i do 2in level kit on front What’s max tire size on factory 18in wheel? Don’t want to trim etc
Hey Josh,
If you look in the quick specs box we have the recommended max tire size for stock wheels listed at 33×12.50. If you have any other questions feel free to contact us directly at (888) 998-9663
I have an 02 silverado 1500 with a 2″ front leveling kit and a 3″ body lift. Will i be able to fit 35×12.50×20 tires.
@Blake, 35×12.50 are a tight fit when turning full lock to lock on your Silverado with 2” keys + 3” body lift. They may fit on there however a big factor to the clearance is the wheel width and backspacing used. It may require some minor trimming for clearance.
What rims are these on the silver 2014 Chevy truck?
@Joseph, 20×9 Dick Cepek Gun Metal 7 wheels
I have a new 2014 Chevy Silverado Z71 that I purchased and I had them install a leveling kit before I bought it but for some reason it just doesnt look level to me. The front seems like it sits a little bit lower to me but I am also looking at the distance between the fender and the top of the tire. Is this normal or should there be an equal amount of space between the fender and the top of the tire on both the front and back??
Hey Eric, most of these late model Chevy 1500s come 2” front low from the factory which is why our leveling kit is set at 2” to level the stance. Its important to say other aftermarket accessories like bumpers, bed caps, add-a-leaf kits, and other accessories can effect the stance of the truck as well. Assuming its our leveling kit installed on your ’14 Chevy you are welcome to contact our tech department so they can verify measurements with the height and offer up suggestions, (888) 998-9663 or [email protected]
I have a 2014 silverado with stock wheels and a leveling kit. I know your suggestion is a 33×12.50 tire. Is it possible to run a 34×11.50 without rubbing. The silver silverado looks awesome and I would love my truck to have that stance. Any suggestions?
Also, is it just a front leveling kit on the truck or front and back?
Hey Kevin,
the silver Silverado pictured is actually running a 35×12.50 tire on 20×8.5 wheel (5.75” BSing) with just the front 2” leveling kit. The setup would require some fender trimming for sufficient clearance during offroad use, but they did fit with just the leveling kit. I’d say a 34×11.50 tire could work on there, however it will be dependent on the wheel width/backspacing as to how much if any trimming will be needed
Dumb question but are those stock wheels? If not which are they?
Hey Rob, those are 20” Dick Cepek Gun Metal 7 wheels
I leveled my 2015 Silverado a few months ago and am looking to upgrade wheels and tires now and I like the look of those DC Gun Metal 7 wheels, but from what it looks like they are all a 5 lug pattern and my truck is a 6 lug… am I missing something?
@ShoelessMo After checking Dick Cepek’s website it appears they may be discontinuing the GM7 wheels. They’re no longer listed on their website, but in the past they did offer them in 5-, 6-, and 8-lug patterns. If you’re set on that wheel I’d contact Dick Cepek or the parts supplier to confirm availability first.
if I get around a 3.5 suspension lift on 2014 silverado is there anyway I could possibly get 35’s in there? if so reply to email. @[email protected]
@a2f The GMs are’t known for open wheel wells and that makes it difficult to clear larger tires. 35s are a tight fit for the 3.5” kit and is larger than our engineers recommend. 33-34” tires would fit better and depending on the wheel width and backspacing may still require some trimming for proper clearance. For more on the topic contact Zone sales/tech support at (888) 998-9663 or [email protected]
Alot of these reviews say 35s will fit on a 2in level, and then others are saying 35s won’t fit on a 3.5 lift?
Hey Zach,
that’s a fit of a loaded question depending on the actual tire size/width, the wheel width/backspacing, and your comfort level trimming the fender if necessary. The wider and more stuck out the wheel/tire combo is the more likely it is to require trimming.
Yes I have a 2.5 leveling kit and a zone 1.5 body planning on putting 35s on Monday .. seems I maybe close to the body mount behind the fender skirt. Have about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 space now with 33s. How close was y’all to it on the 2 inch leveling?
How did the 35’s work for you? I wanna do the same set up.
How did the 35’s work for you? I wanna do the same set up.
35×12.50 tires on 20×9 (5” BSing) wheels is tight with just a leveling kit and would require a fair amount of trimming to not rub on or offroad. 4-6” is recommended for sufficient clearance which is what we used the truck from following the test fit of this leveling kit.
My wheels are +12 offset..
how much does leveling affect gas mileage/aerodynamics?
thx
Hey RJ, the leveling kit itself won’t effect fuel economy, its the larger diameter (typically heavier too) wheels & tires that lower fuel economy slightly
I have a 2015 Silverado z71 4×4. I want to get a 2.5 level kit put on my truck. Will this effect the warranty?
Hey Mark, first off thanks for your interest in Zone Offroad. All of our lifts will not void the warranty and are backed by Factory Protection Plus, a comprehensive program that includes a limited lifetime warranty of the parts, FMVSS No.126 ESC system compliance, and a 5-year, 60K mile drivetrain warranty to match the OE warranty if for any reason they try to deny it. While we don’t offer a 2.5” leveling kit, we do offer a 2” leveling kit, http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-leveling-kit-chevy-gmc-avalanche-pickup-suburban-tahoe-yukon/c1200. Going taller than 2” without compensating for upper ball joint and CV axle angles will max out the suspension during droop travel which can cause premature wear of front end components. If you’re looking for a bit more lift we also offer a 3.5” combo kit that uses the 2” leveling kit with a 1.5” body lift and includes bumper brackets with room for 33s. For more on this kit head to http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-3.5in-combo-lift-kit-chevy-gmc-pickup/c1351
I have a 2014 Chevy with a 2.5in leveling kit. I want to put 35′ tires and wanted to know if y’all had to trim the back wheel wells to get them to fit. I’m going to put a few more inches in the front so I’m not worried about the front and what would be best to add to the front to lift it up 1.5-2 inches ?
35s are a tall order on just a leveling kit for the 2014+ Chevy 1500s. Clearance/trimming would largely depend on the wheel and tire you choose. Wider wheels and smaller backspacing would require more trimming. Also the width of the tire and how aggressive the sidewall is will effect clearance. We had to trim the inner fender and lower front valance for clearance on the silver Chevy 1500 above. A 2.5” leveling kit is already close to the maxing out the stock UCAs and limiting droop travel. We recommend our 4.5” kit (at minimum) to fit 35” tires, for more info on the kit head to our website at http://zoneoffroad.com/display?ma=9&yr=2014&mo=273&ca=78
This is one sexy truck!!! Ive got a 2015 and will be trying this same setup with a 315/70/17 nitto trail grappler on factory 17’s. Hope I can get it to work ill post pics either way.
hey man I just got a 2015 silverado lt 1500 z71 and want to put a 2 inch leveling kit. what’s the biggest tire I can run with 20 inch rims and no offset or backspacing.
David, max tire size will be dependent on how wide the 20” wheel is as well as the amount of trimming you are OK with doing and how it will be used. We spec the 2” leveling kit to fit up to 33×12.50 tires on stock wheels.
I just purchased a 2015 chevy 1500 and want to do it right but not spend more than needed to put 35 by 12.50 on there whats the right direction far as how much of a lift i need ect…
Hey Jake,
it typically requires 4.5-6.5” of lift to run a 35×12.50 tire on your new Chevy 1500. That said there are a number of factors that play into the recommendation like wheel size (width and backspacing), amount of trimming you are comfortable with (GMs use a square wheel well that oftentimes requires some trimming), along with where you’re running stock vs. aftermarket bumpers, fender flares and other accessories. Check out our website to see recommended wheel/tire specs for each kit
I have a 2014 1500. Will I be able to run 35s on a 2.5 inch level with the stock wheels.
While you may be able to install them, they are outside of our recommended specs. Trimming will likely be needed.
I can’t make out what kind of tires these are. Any help?
Mickey Thompson ATZ tires
I have a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with stock 20 inch chrome wheels and a 2 inch level in front. Will 33×12.2 Toyo Open Country MT (P295/55r20) tires fit with no rubbing or trimming required?
Hey Kevin, that exact tire/wheel setup is one our engineers have not tested out and is outside of their maximum tire size recommendation (285/70r17 on stock or equivalent). That said you may be able to fit them with little to no rubbing without trimming, we can’t however guarantee it. For more on our maximum wheel/tire recommendations head to http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-leveling-kit-chevy-gmc-avalanche-pickup-suburban-tahoe-yukon/c1200
I have a 2015 Chevrolet 1500 and I have leveling kit with a 2” block on the rear. I’m running a nitto trail grappler in a 295/65/20. The problem I’m having is that everything runs good but when I pull my boat it sits the rear fender on the rear tires. Please if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Hey Jason, the squatting issue is due to the heavy tongue weight of your boat and trailer. The rear lift block will give the truck additional ride height, but not increased load capacity as you are still running the stock leaf pack. You have a couple options to resolve this, first would be to replace the block with an add-a-leaf kit (Zone #C6159) that will add an additional leaf to your spring pack and increase load capacity. Another common solution (and the one we use on our tow rigs) is a rear air bag support kit like the Load Leveler 5000 from Air Lift. The benefit here is you can remove the rear block to level the stance for everyday driving and whenever you need to tow you just air up the bags up for increased load capacity and stability without the rear sagging.
I have a 2014 GMC 1500. I am installing a 2″ leveling kit. I have the stock GM 20″ wheels. What tire can I run with NO trimming?
While we haven’t tried every tire and wheel combination, we spec the 2” leveling kit to fit 285/70r17 tires on stock wheels. The equivalent 20” would be a 285/55r20 tire. Our leveling kit is designed to provide 2” of lift, a make no guarantees on max tire fitment w/ or w/o trimming, just recommendations.
I have a 2014 Silverado. I was looking at doing a 2″ level. What back spacing on aftermarket wheel would I need to run a 33×12.5
33×12.50 will be tight fit on just a 2” leveling kit. We spec 285/70r17 (33×11.50) tires on stock wheels, While 33×12.50 tires can be used with aftermarket wheels, some trimming may be needed for clearance in some situations (fully turned with the suspension compressed). 8-9” wide wheels with 5-5.75” backspacing would be ideal to limit the need for trimming
I have a 2015 gmc sierra 1500. I am putting a 3.5″ suspension lift and 2″wheel spacers on it and I need to know if I can fit 305/55/20r on it ? The rims are factory 20″ black
Hey Brandon, are you referring to the (#C1351) 3.5” Combo Kit that combines a 2” leveling kit with a 1.5” body lift? The stock 20×8.5” wheels have roughly a 6” backspacing. To fit 33×12.50 (305/55r20) tires you’ll want to stay to a 8-9” wide wheel with 5-6” backspacing. 2” wheel spacers will give you around a 4” backspacing and stick the tires out farther. The wider stance increases the range of motion the tires use in the wheel well when turning and will likely require additional trimming to keep them from rubbing when turned.
I have a 2016 silverado and want to do the 2″ leveling kit and run 295/70r18 which Is a 34.26″ tire at 11.61″ wide. Am I able to do this with just the factory offset? I don’t mind having to trim at all. I know you guys only recommend 33×12.50. I seen that you were running 35×12.50 with the 2″ leveling kit, just didn’t know if you had any advice on what I want as my set up. Thanks
Hey Tony, on the stock wheels there’s a good chance those tires will fit without any trimming needed with just the leveling kit
I have a 2.5″ level kit on my 2014 Silverado 4×4 double cab. Keeping my factory 18″ wheels for now but looking to skin them with 295/70R18 Dick Cepek Extreme Country’s. That’s a 34.3″ tire. Will I need to trim out some fender wall to eliminate some rubbing? I’m a hunter, not a heavy off-roader so I’m not too worried about spring compression as much since most of the places I go off-pavement aren’t really that rough. Thoughts? Thanks!!!
Josh, being that those are outside our recommended specs you’ll likely need to trim slightly, but it shouldn’t be bad. the easiest way to do so is after mounting the tires up turn the wheels from side to side (slowly) and trim the inner fender and valance as needed.
Thanks Carter! Appreciate the reply.
Carter,
I have a 2014 silverado with the 2″ leveling kit installed. I am looking into running a 275/70/17 cooper a/t3 tire on 17×9 wheels with 0mm offset. Think I will be able to run this setup on my rig as far as clearing front bumper, etc?
Hey Kennedy, I think that setup will work well on there without the need to trim for normal driving conditions. That tire measures out to a 32.17″ x 11″ tire on a 17×9 5″ BSing wheel.
I lifted my 2010 silverado 2 inches front and back. Will 295/70/17 nitto trial grappler tires work. With 17×9 -12mm offset rims work with the possibility of some minor trimming? Thanks!
That setup will be a bit tight on there with just the 2″ kit. While trimming would help, its we’d recommend a 4.5″ lift to clear that wheel/tire setup.
295/70r17 measures to 34″ x 12″
17×9 wheel (-12mm offset) measures to roughly 4.5″ backspacing
I have a 2015 Silverado double cab stock height running 305/55/20 mickey thompson atz on stock rims with now rub at all. About to put 2 in level kit on and run a bigger tire have plenty of space
I have a 2014 Z71, I installed a 2″ front level kit. I am wanting just like everyone else to replace the factory tires which I now have 30k miles on them with bigger and wider tires but not to crazy where I need to worry about rubbing or having to do trimming. Recommendations for a tire size? Off road driving I do little of and when I do I take it easy, oh and I am keeping my stock wheels,,which are 18s
Hey Eric, our max rec’d wheel/tire size for the 2″ leveling kit on a 2007-2016 GM1500 is for 285/65r18 tires (33×11.50) on stock 18s.
What leveling kit do i need exactly to level my 2014 GMC 1500 SLE Z71 4×4?
Hey Roger, our (#C1200) 2″ Leveling Kit will level the stance on your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD.
I have a 2016 chev 1500 z71 that I put a 2 inch level kit in I want to run as small offset wheel as I can and as large a tire as possible what is the best option I am staying with the stock 18 inch inch wheel I would like them dished out as much as I can
John, I’m a little confused what you’re asking here; you mention small offset, dished out look but stock wheels. Are you running the stock 18″ wheels or are you asking for about aftermarket wheel recommendations? Our sales/tech support teams are available to assist you as well, feee free to contact them directly at (888) 998-9663
So the truck pictured above has a 2 in leveling kit and 35’s? I have a 3 in kit on my 15 sierra 1500,I’d like to run 35 12.5 as well, just curious what kind of trimming u had to do, my wheels have a 5.39 in backspacing, any advice would be great thanks
At the time of the pictures the tires still rubbed when turning. We had to trim the lower corners of the front valance as well as the inner fender liner for additional clearance. If you plan to go offroad where the suspension will be cycled, we’d recommend additional lift to clear this wheel/tire combo.
I have a 2015 Z71 and I am getting a 2″ level kit. What size rims and tires should I get. I also pull a boat with my truck.
Hey Rizzo, there’s been a lot of discussion on this topic in the comments. Our recommendation is to run up to a 285/70r17 tire on 17×8 or 17×9 wheel with 5-6″ backspacing. Other tires in a comparable size for 18-20″ wheels will work as well. Other sizes may fit, however we can’t guarantee some fender trimming won’t be needed to fit in all driving conditions. With the weight of the truck and towing a trailer you’ll want to go with a D or E load rated tire.
I have read all your advise to run 35’s on stock 20’s . I personally don’t really plan on off reading much and have your 2 inch kit on a 2wd Z71.My question is how much much trimming does it take to fit those tires. I scored a set of Toyo a/t and don’t really want to fork out cash for a lift kit right now. Do you have any pictures of the modifications you guys did to see what it looks like ? My concern is ruining a brand new truck.
Hey Ricardo, unfortunately we don’t have any photos of how that truck was set up with closeup of the fenders/trimming. It was a test fit vehicle so after we finished with the leveling kit we took it back into the shop to fit the 4.5″ and 6.5″ kits. The best recommendation I can say for you being that you already have the leveling kit installed and the tires on hand is to mount one tire up, bolt it on and see for yourself how much trimming would be needed.
Can i tun 35s with my stock 17s and what lift would i need ?
Hey Sal, we don’t offer a lift option to fit 35s on the factory 17″ wheels. Our 2″ leveling kit, and 3.5″ combo kit would require additional trimming to fit 35s, but can be used with factory 17″ wheels. Our 4.5″ and 6.5″ kits will allow fitment of up to 35″ tires, however has a interference issue with the factory 17″ wheels due to the tie rod mount on the new steering knuckles which requires aftermarket wheels with larger backspacing. FOr more on the topic contact the Zone Offroad sales/tech team at (888) 998-9663 or [email protected]
Im curious as to what part of the inner fender you had to trim to fit those 35’s in there. I have a 2014 silverado 1500 2″ leveling kit with an aftermarket front bumper that provides alot mor clearance. I would lean more towards 295/70r18. So nasically 34×11.6. Just wondering if you trimmed the inner fender back ny the door as well.
We only had the truck set up temporarily with this setup and didn’t make specific note of the amount of trimming needed because the truck was used right after these photos to test fit the full IFS lift kits that didn’t require us to trim. The amount of trimming would also depend on the wheels (width & backspacing) you used as how the truck will be used (offroad use will cycle the suspension more and require more trimming).
Can I run 35/12.5/18 on my stock 18 in wheels. 2015 Chevy 1500 with 3 inch strut spacers on front and 2 inch strut spacers on back.
Thanks.
Hey Corey, that tire size is larger than out the recommended tire/wheel specs for our 2″ leveling kits and even 3.5″ combo kits. We recommend a minimum of 4.5″ of lift to fit 35″ tires. That said it may fit in there with additional fender trimming, but it is outside of out recommended specs. Also, I would be careful installing another company’s 3″ strut spacer is there is no other correction for the front suspension geometry to correct upper ball joint positioning and CV axle angles.
What is the biggest, widest tire I can put on a factory 2014 Silverado 1500 with 20 inch rims without doing any trimming or cutting? I want the tires to stick out as much as possible. Also what is the biggest tire I could use if I were to put your 2 inch leveling kit on the front without having to do any cutting or trimming? Thank You!!
Hey Dan, we don’t spec largest tire on a stock height truck and have our official recommended specs for the leveling kit are listed on our website, http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-leveling-kit-chevy-gmc-avalanche-pickup-suburban-tahoe-yukon/c1200. Beyond that larger/wider tires may be able to be fitted, however we can’t guarantee trimming won’t be required. GM trucks in particular have a very boxy fender shape so trimming is fairly common to fit larger tires.
I just bought a 2016 Silverado 1500 Z71 with a 2″ leveling kit. Can you tell me what is the largest tire size that i can use on 22’s and exact wheel size and offset? and the largest tire size that i can use on 20’s and exact wheel size and offset?
Thanks !!!!
Hey Miguel, we list our recommended max tire size on our website based on what our engineers have test fit. That being said, there are other sizes that may fit with little to no trimming, we just don’t test every tire and wheel combination out there. The GM trucks have a squared off wheel well which may require minor trimming to fit an oversized wheel/tire. A truck used on-road only is less likely to need trimming than one used offroad (situations where the suspension is compressed with the tires turned). For more on our tire wheel recommendations head to http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-leveling-kit-chevy-gmc-pickup/c1220
I have a 2014 crew cab 1500 Ltz I want to put a 2 inch leveling kit what size of tires can I put on with out any trimming at all
Hey Mike, this topic has been discussed pretty extensively up to this point in the comments above. Tire fitment/clearance will depend on the wheel width/backspacing used, we list our official recommendations on our website at http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-leveling-kit-chevy-gmc-avalanche-pickup-suburban-tahoe-yukon/c1200 which is to fit a 285/70r17 (or comparable) tire on the factory wheels. Aftermarket 8-9″ wide wheels may require minor trimming.
I have a 2015 silverado crew cab 2wd with factory p275/55 r20s. It has 3.5 front lift and 1.5 rear lift. It looks really good except the tires look really small now. So I was wondering how big of tires I could put on it without rubbing. It won’t be off-road.
Hey Clarence, thanks for reaching out. On the late model GM1500s with the 3.5″ combo lift we spec up to 33×12.50 tire, however that will be dependent on the wheels you’re running (diameter, width, and backspacing). It also depends on your comfort level trimming as the GMs have a very squared off wheel well that many choose to trimming to maximize space for tire clearance.
Would you be able to fit 285/75R17 (33.8×11.2) with 4.5 backspacing and -6mm offset without trimming on a 2015 1500 with the 2 in level kit?
Being those tires/wheels are outside of our recommended tire/wheel specs we can’t guarantee fitment without some degree of trimming needed to maximize the tire clearance in the squared off fenders of GM1500 trucks. Not knowing with width of your 17″ wheels its hard to give an answer too. 17×8 or 17×9 wheels with 5-5.75″ backspacing are ideal to maximize tire clearance.
17×9 with 4.5 backspacing sorry.
looking to put a 3inch level on my 2014 Silverado 4×4 LTZ. what would i need to put in the back to keep the level look? a little rake of 1/2 inch or so would be ideal for the back. stock 18 rims and plans to put 285/75R18 open countries on as well do you see any issues?
Hey Jacob, we don’t offer a 3″ kit option, just the 2″ leveling kit, 3.5″ combo kit (2″ leveling + 1.5″ body lift), 4.5″ IFS lift kit, and 6.5″ IFS lift kit. The 2″ leveling kit would level the stance out with no rear modifications needed and allow you to fit that wheel/tire combo with little to no trimming needed.

I have a 2016 silverado 4×4 with a 2 inch leveling kit, i want to fun the fuel contra 20×10 wheel with a -18 offset. I want to use the nitto ridge grappler tire. What would be the biggest size tire size without trimming?
Hey Gerald, we haven’t tested that particular setup to know max tire size. Additionally trimming is common anytime you run oversized wheel/tires on a Chevy/GMC truck to allow maximize fender clearance due to the squared off shape of the wheel wheels. You’ll likely need to stick to the 265/60r20 or 275/55r20 Ridge Grapplers for the least chance of rubbing or need to trim.
I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71 with a 2” leveling kit. Will I be able to fit 33×12.5 tires with the factory 18’s?
Hey Aron, we spec 285/70r17 or 285/65r18 (which is about a 33×11.50) on stock wheels with our 2″ leveling kit. While you will be able to bolt on a 33×12.50 tire, some minor trimming may be necessary to clear in all driving situations on/off-road.
I have a 2015 GMC Sierra with the 2″ leveling I was wondering if the 285/55/20 tires will fit with a 20×10 -24 rims.
Hi Jake, while you may be able to fit that tire/wheel combo on a leveling GM1500, its outside of our official recommended wheel/tire specs and will likely require some trimming to clear in all driving situations on and off-road.
What’s a good size tire for it with our trimming it. Or a little trimming
I just purchased a 2018 Sierra and will have the 2.5” leveling kit installed next week. What is largest tire I can get on factory 20” wheel? I like the look of those 35” tires, but do not want to have to cut or trim anything under my truck.
35s will be too large for just a 2-2.5″ leveling kit. With our 2″ leveling kit we spec 285/55r20 tire (measures out to about a 32.5″ x 11.7″) on stock 20″ wheels. Other sizes can be used, but additional trimming may be necessary.
I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado LT 2wd with 3.5 life. I have the stock 22 with a 275 50 r 22, can I put 33 12.50 with a spacer(how big of a spacer?) will it rub?
If it will rub what the size tires should I use?(tire can be bigger then a 33 and not 12.50 Wide)
If I go with a 33 and a offset(what offset do you recommend?) and will it rub?
Hey Joey, so the factory 22″ wheels are 22×9 with about 5.9″ backspacing. Depending on the lift kit you are running and whether or not it included upper control arms (UCA) you may have some minor clearance issues due to the width of the 33×12.50 tire contacting the UCA that could be solved with a small wheel spacer. That said there are a few variables with the UCAs and the sidewall lugs of the specific tire you plan to run that make it difficult to give an exact answer.

Wanna use 285/75R18 buying 18×9 aftermarket wheels for small aggressive look. What offset to use without any fab work
Thank you
Dave
Hey Dave, officially we reconnect a 285/70r17 or equivalent tire size which measures out to a 33×11.50. The 285/75r18 measures out to a 35×11.50 and may cause some clearance issues that require fender trimming with the 3.5″ lift kit installed. As for the rim specs, ideally you’re looking for a wheel with 4.5″ backspacing (ie -13mm offset for a 9″ wide wheel).
