I have no doubt you can fit 35s with a basic leveling kit whether you have to smash the pinch welds or trim the liner or whatever else but there's no way you're going to be able to let the suspension compress at anything other than near perfectly straight or you will beat up the fender liner and everything attached to it. My 285/60r20s already rub more than I want while the suspension is compressed yet I have complete range of motion with only the slightest rub while the suspension is neutral.My 17 z71, 2" leveling kit with 275/75/18's. Anyone try and run 295/70's on factory 18's with just a leveling kit yet?
I just feel like the 275/70 (33's) look small, and a bit skinny. And as the tahoe sits the tires have plenty of clearance and don't rub at all. Kinda why I'm thinking a 295/70. I don't mind a little rubbing.I have no doubt you can fit 35s with a basic leveling kit whether you have to smash the pinch welds or trim the liner or whatever else but there's no way you're going to be able to let the suspension compress at anything other than near perfectly straight or you will beat up the fender liner and everything attached to it.

I'm already at the limit of what feels good for the actual operation of my Denali with this size tire and from experience putting 35s on my stock height 03 Duramax unless you tub it then it's always a compromise against performance when you go that big. Perhaps if I was running a stiffer spring rate or even just running the Bilsteins instead of my Fox coilovers I would feel differently but if it were stiff enough to keep the tire out of the fender liner I think it would be a very stiff ride.
