Do you have just a 2" Level in the front? Nice ride

Trying to decide between 275/70R18 and 285/65R18 KO2s. Feel like either setup rubs or doesn’t rub deciding on who you ask. If it were my truck I wouldn’t mind, but the Suburban is our vacation mobile and needs to be as reliable and sensible as possible.

Either would be reliable and sensible options.

I personally would go with the 275’s.

I don’t have any good pictures yet since the transformation from lowrider to lifted.
I ditched the 2/4 Beltech drop kit and Giovanna 24” Wheels along with the MRC and Auto Level. It looked great lowered and actually drove great. But as soon as my MRC shocks started loosing oil and riding like crap, it was time for a change.
So I did tons of research on here and based off my findings, I went the obvious and best route, in my opinion.
I did the BDS lift with Fox adjustable compression rate coilovers. The shocks are also height adjustable so don’t think you’re stuck with just a 4” or 6” lift, you can adjust them to do whatever you want/need. I haven’t measured but I know for sure I’m around 5” over stock.
I did the 3” rear kit from BDS in the rear. You can choose between 2” or 3”. The 3” is actually a kit that relocates a lot of things. The 2” is nothing more than a 2” spacer. I also went overboard and replaced the OEM Yukon XL Denali coils with New OEM Z71 Suburban rear coils. Figured why not?
I replaced the upper control arms with a machined high performance arm from Mazzulla Offroad.
The wheels are Method NV 20x9 simulated beadlocks.
The tires are Toyo Open County M/T 35x12.5R20
With all this weight the factory brakes have no chance in actually effectively stopping me so I had to upgrade to the best option there too. Went with Wilwood 16” Rotors and 6 piston Calipers out front and 14” Rotors and 4 piston Calipers in the rear. Would have 16” & 6 all around but they don’t make it. Overkill I guess.
I had to do some trimming and adjusting to actually fit the 35’s without going 6” or higher in lift. The automatic steps were adjusted and moved back. Nothing crazy or too obvious. It’s all very clean.
It rides and works amazing. Couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend doing it all. It was well worth the $$$

I run a 265/70-18 SL Falken AT3W. Same overall diameter as the 285/65 and no rubbing whatsoever ever with a RC 2” level.

I never see anyone run this size, but to me it was a no brainer. I had similar criteria to you.

2” with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 275... hopefully KO2’s don’t look skinny...

275/70's?.... I have 285/55/22's on my leveled sierra and they rub on moderate turns both fwd and reverse. Im afraid the z71 18's will rub bad with the 285/65's and a level.
