Just take a look at your wheel, it should say the offset somewhere... i now know that the 2011 z71 18" rim has an offset of +31..

both rims with an offset and wider tires can make it protrude and if you are gunna put some new sneakers on it i highly highly recommend the toyo open country mud terrain, my uncle had a set of 33s on a 2500hd 4x4 that lastd 80000 miles i promise you they were a lil bald but they last forever and they pull great in the mud

The factory offset is about +30. I think a 285 wide tire is about as wide as you'll want to put on a 7.5" wide wheel. Any wider of a tire and you might want to look for a wider wheel.
