I'm curious as to what is the largest tire and or best tire I can put on my 2012 Silverado Z71 stock rims (18" x 8") with a 2.5inch front and 1inch rear suspension lift kit. The kit recomends a tire max. height of 33in., 11.5in max. width, 5.5in of backspacing. I've seen trucks around with a leveling kit running nice beefier offroad tires on stock rims but dont know the tire sizes. Any Help? Thanks
I know a guy running 295/65r18 Wrangler DuraTrac tires with a similar set up with no problems. That equals 33.1x11.8x18 according to the website. They are cheap enough a most people are very happy with looks and performance
Nice looking. I'm really considering both sizes of tires. It's weird at the tires available in one size but not the other. The above mentioned 2.5in front lift and 1in rear lift was ordered yesterday. Would just the 2.5in front make the truck sit level or would the nose be a lil high versus the 2.5in front with the 1in rear blocks on?

2" usually levels these trucks out pretty even. Each unit seems to vary a bit from truck to truck. Maybe just install the front level once you get the parts and park her on flat ground and see how she looks.I've increased the front lift on the pic I posted above with a 1/8" thicker spacers under both struts. The lift in the pic is roughly 1 3/4" and is now at 2". As soon as my truck is in need for front strut replacements I plan on going with the top of strut spacers instead of the under strut ones. I don't care for how close the propeller shaft clearances end up with respect to the bolts on the under strut spacer set-up.
