Visual Aid for Tire Size With 2 Inch R.C. Level kit

Visual Aid for Tire Size With 2 Inch R.C. Level kit

Postby StarsnBars [OP] » Nov 27 2011, 8:27pm

Thought I would post this to show 285/65/18 Nitto Terra G tire clearance with a Rough Country 2 inch level Kit. Truck is a 2011 1500 Silverado LT, Z71 with front Rancho shocks. I see alot of users asking,,, how much room, biggest tire that will fit, etc. These pics might help to get a visual idea of the kind of room that is left in the front wheelwells with these tires.

Thanks Rob! This answers it once and for all. The biggest tire you can fit using a 2" leveling kit is 285/65/18. Hopefully this will save some re-posted questions!

Visual Aid for Tire Size With 2 Inch R.C. Level kit

Postby gmctruckguy » Nov 28 2011, 5:11pm

There is my '12 with the RC 2" level kit and factory 265/70R17's. Kind of hard to see, I'll try and find a better picture.

Could you fit these tires with the stock mud flaps that come on these trucks or would they rub

Stock tires with 2" level kit. I have since put on the large rubber mud flaps and had no issues with rubbing.
