Hoping to get some 33x12.50's for the Z71, but might end up with some 285/70r17's for now.
Is anyone running spacers with stock wheels on the Z71 with this size tire? Would look nice to push them out level with the flares.
It does seem that the front tires sit inwards more than the rear, So maybe the front needs a quarter inch more or something.
Anyway, if someone has some photos of something similar they have done, I would be interested seeing your setup.

The actual track width of the front wheels is actually slightly larger that the track width of the rear wheels, and this is by design to improve vehicle tracking.

Maybe mine got sucked in slightly from raising the front torsion bars or something. Mine are very obviously more narrow than the rear. Not sure why

18x9 Trail Boss wheels with 295/70. 1.25” Bora spacer. 3.5” lift. Required some trimming.

285/70R17 on stock rims (photo not the best angle)
Torsion bar cranked to level front (~2” IIRC). Would love to see photos of 33’s on stock rims as well.
