2018 level Tahoe tire size

[frosspierce]

I’m looking to get a 2 inch leveling kit on my 2018 tahoe. I’m trying to decide between Goodyear wrangler duratrac tires sizes 275/70/18 or 285/75/18. I’m concerned about rubbing but I would like to fill out the wheel wells. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations? Thanks!

Or would I be better off with a 285/65/18 or a 275/65/18?

A 285/75/18 is a 35” tire. That would be tight to say the least.

Dont think 285/75 would fit as 275/70 are pushing it. Here are the 275/65/18 ridge grapplers I had - they fit nicely without any rub, but I spend most of my time over 80mph, and these suck over 70. My next tire will be that size, though. Defenders...

Out of curiosity what is wrong with the grapplers? Looking to put a set on my wifes denali...looking for first hand feedback.

Probably too noisy on the highway. Defenders are about as perfect a highway tire as one can get.

Thanks for the reply and pics, very nice looking. I based the tire measurements off custom offset recs so it’s really helpful to see some pictures like these. Do you have a 2 inch leveling kit on there?

I’ve seen some posts on here where people say they’ve put 285/65/18 on a leveled Tahoe and not had any issues but I have also seen contradicting posts. Not sure if anyone has any pics or experience with that

Running 275/65/18 on the Trailboss wheels. 2" Rough Country front and 1" spacer out back. they are just big enough to make it look decent. No rubbing at all. Maybe a 285/65/18 would fill a bit more but didnt want to sacrifice the MPG. this size actually put the speedo 100% dead on with my GPS vs Speedo. 265/65s were off by 3mph at 60. Duratracs are a good tire, not obnoxiously loud, but far from quiet.
