How are they in the rain?

Noisy?

Thanks.

Also, I'm new here and it's time for tires on my truck. I'm thinking about going with the Bilstein leveling shocks. What is the consensus on them? is there a better way to level? Also, I'm planning on using 275/60/20

So far so good, only had them less than a week. Ride is good, they are an A/T tire and will be noisier than stock, but not terrible. Hasn't rained yet, so no feed back on that.

Bilsteins are a good way to go. The shop who did my level said they would recommend them over any spacer leveling kit. I went against that advice, primarily due to price. I got a deal that I couldn't pass up. Im happy with my readylift 2.25 with UCAs.

I have these tires and love the look and ride. I am running 285/70s on stock 17s. They do well in the rain and have not had any issues so far. I’m also running the MotoFab 3/2 level/lift kit on my 15 Crew Cab.

2014 Silverado LT leveled with Falken 35’s on 17’s by Method

Dang! Those look huge! What did you have to do to make those fit? And are they 35x12.50x17 or 315/70/17?

Can you turn the wheels with the 35’s. How much level and how much rubbing

Yes i can all the way. I removed the sway bar and did a norcal tuck to clear the tire but i also removed some of the wheel well liner for extra clearance off road. As far as the level its a simple 2in coil spacer. Later on gonna go with a mid travel kit.

I did a norcal tuck with some wheel well liner taken off and removed the sway bar didnt have to but it feels so much better off road and the tires are 35x12.5x17 yes they look huge on the truck as it sits right now. Currently working on a front skid plate bumper !

I've got them in 285/65r18 on stockers....says 33x11 on the side. Great fit with a level, but 305/65 would probably fit too. Look incredible. Ride pretty good. Not noisy. Great wet weather traction. I've got 45psi in them and it feels weird going into a fast corner...like the truck is leaning. I just take those corners slower now because I don't want to run 50psi in them.

I've read this whole post and went back a few time but still have a few questions.

I'm going to be putting on some Bilstein 6112 shocks on the top level with a .5" upper spacer for about 2.25" lift. I really want to go with 275/65R20 BFG KO2's. I'm also looking at some Fuel Maverick 20x9 wheels and not sure if I can get away with the +1 offset or if I should go with +20. I want the wheels/tires to stick out just a little past the fender but also don't want any rubbing.

With that all said, do you think can I do the +1 with the 275/65's? Or should I go with the +20 offset with 275/65's? Or are the 275/65 to much and I should go with 275/60's?

Appreciate your input...just want to do this once! Truck info in signature.

I recommend going to "CustomOffsets.com", choosing "Gallery", then click on the "Advanced Search" button and I think you will find a few folks that did something close or the same (and I have no relationship to this company--just a great resource for me). Maybe you have seen that resource already.

Driveway incline makes it look like it is squatting, but it is perfectly level.

2015 LTZ Summit White

275/65/18 on stock 18s

I traded my 20s with a guy that had an LT, plus $300 bucks on his end. Tires were brand new on both sets, so the trade worked out well. I like the 18s a lot better, and they ride smoother.

Liking the z71 18s

Oooo, me likey! Been trying to figure out what to do with my 2015 when it's time for new tires (only 24k on it......lol). Granted I am just looking at the Discount Tire site, but it says it won't fit. I'm assuming that it works on yours because of the leveling kit? I'd like to do something, but I don't like the flat truck look, especially after you put 5 pounds in the back and it squats.

Just put new wheels on today. Zone 2 inch front level. 275 65 18 Hankook Dynapro ATMs, 18x9 -12 offset XF Off-road XF-203 wheels. Happy with how it turned out. The stance with the -12 offset is more aggressive than I was expecting, which is good.

mrskiff · July 22, 2018

It has a 2.25 inch level. But it still has a bit of rake which is nice for hauling. Tires dont rub any.

Any change in your MPG with these tires?

At least 1mpg if not 2mpg. Get more like 15+ now instead of 17+. Definite power loss when towing something heavy. If they were 35s, I'd want to re-gear to 4:11.

Hey guys first time posting on this thread but I got a 3 inch Motofab lift in the front and I got 3 inch blocks in the rear well I don’t like rake that I have and I want it to be perfectly level now and I took measurents with my gas tank empty and full and there’s a quarter inch difference I will include a pic of the measurements but I cant decide if I should go with 1.50 rear blocks or 1.75 and tapered or not tapered
