Sorry for re-posting!
I tried running this in the exterior forum and got a lot of looks but no replys.
I will be installing the CCM 2.5/1 leveling kit on my 07 Z71 next weekend. I'm pretty sure that I will immediately want some bigger/ more aggressive looking tires. I'm not really interested in Mud terrains, don't want the noise, wear, loss in fuel mileage, etc. I have been looking at several all terrain tires, today it seems I'm most interested in the Cooper Zeon LTZ's. I will be keeping the stock 18" wheels and it appears the biggest Zeon size available for these wheels is 285/60R18 (diameter-31.5", width-11.4". Will this look big enough? Anyone have any pics of 285/60R18's with the CCM 2.5/1 (or similar) with the stock 18's? ***edit*** now that I've looked under the Light truck category on Cooper's website, I've found there's another size available for the 18's
Current tire: Dueler A/T 265/65R18, Diameter-31.54"
AT's on my short list:
Cooper Zeon LTZ: LT275/70R18, Diameter-33.15" Width-11.1"
Terra Grapplers: Many sizes to consider... looking at the LT285/65R18 E125R, Diameter-32.52" Width-11.22"
BFG TA KO: A few sizes to consider... looking at the LT285/65R18/E 125 R, Diameter-32.7" Width-11.5"
GY Duratracs: a few sizes to consider... looking at the LT295/65R18, Diameter-33.1" Width-11.8"
Open to suggestions...
Anyone know what the biggest diameter and width combinations (in inches) are that can be put an a Tahoe with the CCM 2.5/1 which will have no rubbing or just minimal rubbing possibly requiring minimal trimming. Note, I will not be "mudding" or doing any extreme off-roading. Whatever I do, I want to do it right. If it costs a few extra bucks to be "perfect", so be it. If I have to do some minimal trimming that's ok but I don't want to go hacking the thing up. I'd be looking for advice here if I have to trim. I'm not looking for a monster truck, but those fender flares on the Z71 beg for a bigger / more agressive looking tire.
Here are some picks of my Hoe before the leveling and tires...
