That's a 33" tire... will need a lift of some sort on a 2wd. Might be able to get away with a t-bar crank on a 4wd.

It is a 4x4... Here's a pic of the truck, purchased earlier this year and I think it feels high enough for those tires.

On a side note, do you think i could fit 315/75/16 with a RC 2.5-3in lift? I think thats like a 34" tire...

305/75/16 are 32" , 275/60's arent 33"
It is a 33" tall tire, do the math with me...

275 = 10.82" wide
275/60 = 6.5" sidewall
275/60/20 = 6.5 + 6.5 + 20 = 33" overall height.
For a reference point, consider the 275/60/15 = 28" (add 5" to the wheel size and voila).

I test fitted the size, in the first piucture you can obviously see that it clears but BARELY. I might end up trimming the lower valence.

This picture my be hard to understand, but this is the lf tire turned completely to the left. So, this picture is under the vehicle were it rubs on the inside of the frame, BARELY.

Dude that makes no sense. I've heard and I thought seen a few people on here post pictures of a stock height Tahoe running 285/70/16 ???

285/70/16 according to the Kumho website is equal to a '32 and is just shy of a '33. (32.8 if my memory serves me correctly)

If that tire is only 275/70/16 and your truck is 4WD. . . I don't know what to say, thats weird. :wtf:

I'm running 265/65/16 and I have tons of room. I wonder if the 2 doors are taller than the 4 doors???
