some tire advice

[fatboyracing]

So I am about to buy some new tires

right now I have a rough country 2.5 front and .75 rear

I think i am going with a 275-60-20

is this the way to go or can I do something minor to go up in size

With that kit you can fit those size tires.

Anything else easy and not alot of money to do to go bigger

Such as a body lift or wheel spacers or something

A body lift would help. 275/60-20 is a clooose fit.

Only seen 3" on these NNBS which looks like crap to me. I prefer a 1.5" BL helps hide the frame. Those tires will clear though on a level kit and cheapest largest class C tire

I thought zone sold one that was 1.5 or maybe 2inchs

if I pushed it to a 285-60-20 would it fit at all

would adding spacers do anything

You could go bigger like a 305/55R20 but would need a BL. Adding wheel spacers does nothing but make it worse on rubbing. Zone makes a 2" http://zoneoffroad.com/zone-offroad-products-2in-body-lift-chevy-gmc-suburban-tahoe-yukon/c9251

01Konvict,
I've seen a lot of your posts about tire widths and what rubs. If you are going aftermarket wheels with zero offset, that will give you the best possibility of fitting taller 305's right? Any more negative or positive gives problems with width?

I have a 2.5/1.5 on my 07 and want to find the limits of how big can fit if you are willing to cut a lot. So many people say they get 33's to fit with no problems, it makes me think with a lot of cutting 35's should fit. But I haven't actually tried it yet. Ordering some zero offset wheels soon to start trying.
