Tires
 
I have a 04 Z71 not lifted and found some tires from Nitto 305/70R17 that I like. Will these fit without rubbing???

They will fit with stock 17" wheels, but will be tight. esp. if the front end is stock height.
i have aftermarket keys and 295/70/17, and i wouldnt want to go bigger.

I would get a set of keys or a leveling kit. Then they should fit with a little bit of trimming. Then you would need to be carfull when turning and braking or they will rub.

They will end up being 33.81"x 12.00" R17. (Just for those guys that are curious about the actual height)

Thanks guys! Don't want to sound like a rookie, but what and where are the leveling keys and where can I get some??

ebay, type in chevy leveling kit. you will find a ton of keys there.

Or you can go to any off road shop and they will probably have a leveling kit there for your truck, or at least a set of keys.

If you go too high with the keys then I would recommend getting a new longer set of shocks.

stock i guarantee it will rub. you could go with a bigger key and get about 2 inches of lift. but your shocks will be very tight. and the ride will be rough. is there a good deal on these tires though?

I heard some one said if you were changing keys on your Chevy then buy Keys for a Ford Ranger and they work better? Anyone ever heard of this?

ford f150 keys do the same as an aftermarket key. go to ebay and buy the cheapest one that looks like oem quality, they all do the same thing.
