i ask a lot of questions about tires...
 

do yall think i can fit 285/75/r16s on a 2wd? my 275/70 s left some room, but not a lot... if they'd rub, how bad? i need new tires soon, and im either getting 265/75 or 285/75...

RE: i ask a lot of questions about tires...
 

Well at NTB, they said no larger than 275's for mine and its a 4X4. Only way to go bigger than that would be wheels with more back-spacing but then you'd prob have to trim the bumper anyways. I'd stick with 265's.

You know 2wd lift kits aren't too expensive and you can squeeze bigger tires under it. Get a locker and you can 4-wheel (more) with it too!

ive got a little body lift on my z71 and the 285s still rub a little

RE: i ask a lot of questions about tires...
 

Did they change the ride height between the 99 and 01 z71? I had 285/75/r16son my 01 z71 and they were fine...

Probably not, I got my information from a "recommended" tire size guide for my truck and mine is the same as yours. If they fit go for it! Im actually glad to hear that cause now Im going to look at 285's. Lol.

yeah i am looking at the nitto terra grapplers in 285/75/r17 for mine...kinda glad my 05 has 17in wheels....although i really want 20's :D....but i have a lot of other mods i want first....

I have 17" Denali wheels that I want some big tires on. I just don't know what kind of tire I want.

RE: i ask a lot of questions about tires...
 

285s fit on most z71s with no problems... im thinking my 2wd is too low though... and i considered lifting it but i dont have the funds at the moment... a locker is definitely on my list though
