Leveled and Factory 20s pics

[Markdlee]

Going to level my 2018 2500HD. Looking to see what size tires everyone is running on this setup. Want the most tire I can. Don't mind trimming if I have to. Thanks in advance!

Because of the offset of the factory wheel you’re stuck with a narrow tire. I have 275/65-20 and have now issues with rubbing. I think 35” is about all I can get in the wheel well (front to back) but most 35’s are 12.5” wide and the UCA might rub the sidewalls

I was thinking maybe a 295x65

I will take a picture of my UCA when I walk outside. I think you’ll be ok, it’s only about .5” closer. I thought I had at least and inch. I’ll take a picture in an hour

leveled mine with leveling keys I have 35x12.50 Michelins no rubbing issues of any kind, I don't off road any

Biggest Michelin tires I have found are 295 70 18, a 34 inch tires. Haven't looked at 20's though. Don't think the wheel offset allows a much wider tire as it hits the control arm.

295/60R20 and when these wear out it's going to a 295/65R20.  Tires fit on the rims nicely and I have miles between the tire and anything in there.  1" of rake from front to back with the stock keys cranked.

Here are some pics of a Central Coast Motorsports (CCM) upper control arm showing sidewall clearance. Tires are BFG KO2s in 275/65R20 on stock wheels...no issues with this size on a stock rim offset. Also, no other fender rubbing either. Trimming was not required...

 

I agree with Waaazooo...if you run too wide of a tire and /or a rim with a different offset, your UCAs may rub the sidewall...

Forgive my ignorance here... Are you saying that these upgraded UCA's will give me a little more clearance to run a larger tire?

2015 2500, turned up bars with factory keys, air bags in the back, running 305-75/18 on the factory 18" wheels. I have slight rubbing on the frame now at full lock

With your sports bar... normal bed cover or is it a custom one to fit with the sports bar?
