275/70-17 on Stock Suspension??

[sparg93]

will this fit on a stock suspension? if not, can i remedy with simply cranking the keys or a body lift?

My tahoe sees 98% highway, 2% light offroad.

Easily.

does it matter the offset of the rim?

At one of the tire/rim places I went to, they were saying anyting from 4.5 - 5.25 would cause the rubber to rub the lip of the fender...but I haven't been able to confirm/deny that comment.

I've got 285/70-17 mounted on 17x9 wheels and they fit great. Mine is a 99 Z71 and I'm not sure what the back spacing is. I could find out if you want to know.

slomo, if you could, that would be great...also, if you know the type of rim you have, I can look it up if that is easier.

Are you running a body lift or cranked keys on your ride?

 

[slomo26]

The wheels are black rhino sidewinders i think. No suspension mods at all. I got the wheels from discount tire if that helps you look them up. Let me know if you don't find the back spacing.

I believe its +12mm

i just noticed your exhaust...full exhaust or just a tip?

 

[slomo26]

That looks right but i'll check tommorow. Its a cat back by banks exhaust.

This is the closest I have to a front on shot. They don't stick out too far in my opinion. I had 285/75-16 on stock wheels and they would rub when I was turning into a parking spot or in a parking lot. These do not do that. The older guy on my truck is my dad (only shot I had).

on your 16's where did they rub...against the front of the fender?
