Trying to get an idea what my 2017 LT would look like with 285's on it with my stock 18's

 

Called a local shop and they told me to go with there 2.5" Open country front and back lift. $600 installed with alignment.

 

Thinking:

275/70/18 BFG

My signature is Rc level and 295/75 ko2

Here's mine with 275/65-18 with 1" front end lift. 285/65-18 is only 1/2" taller and 3/8" wider, so you are looking at 1/4" radius taller. All the 285/65's I found were LT, I wanted to stay with a P-Rated tire. Picture in my signature is side shot, couldn't find it on the computer, might have gotten deleted. This picture shows the air dam trimmed also.

Recently I added 285/65R18 BFG KO2's to my 2014 Silverado.

I installed Bilstein 5100's up front on the highest setting.

I did the teardown of the stock coilovers but I had a local shop swap the shocks out in the coilovers for $75.00. Installation in the truck was super easy.

Have absolutely no rubbing on the felt or sway bar.

I removed the front airdam thing just cause it sucks.

Speaking of sucking; I still have the craptastic RanchoMcNuts on the rear. I need to get to get to that soon.

I purchased 3" lift blocks along with the longer Bilstein rear shocks but haven't installed them yet. Been too busy.

 

You can't go wrong with 285/65R18 BFG's and Bilsteins.

This sounds like a decent price for a front and back level/lift! With this amount of lift you could fit a larger tire or with less lift you could still fit the sizes you are considering. Be cautious of the argument that one size is only a "1/2 inch" taller or wider than another size. This variation can make a significant visual difference. Saving money and/or weight by choosing a size smaller than you truly want may make no difference to the casual onlooker but it will bother you for a long time! Ask me how I know!

285/65r18 is the largest you can go with stockers on a 2.5 level without fear of rub. I'm running 275/65r18 and all I can advise on that is don't get this size, especially in BFGs that tend to run narrow anyway. Way too small a tire on a leveled truck.

 

285s look just OK, but still a little small. They look a little better in Nitto and Cooper because BFGs have a very narrow treadwidth and sidewalls with little bulge (section width). The 295/70 looks incredible, but on stockers you are going to rub UCA and Swaybar at full lock if you can live with that and KO2 don't come in that size. You can get away from rub with about a +6 offset or a 1" spacer if you want to cut your studs.

 

Sounds cheesy, but I am so torn over this issue because I don't want a bro-dozer but I also don't want to go 285 and be disappointed for 3 years like I am with my 275s.

 

I'm considering the new Falken AT3W in 305/65r18 as there is at least one truck on this forum running that with a level and claiming no rubbing. I care way more about width as seen coming and going rather than 1/2" taller side profile.
