Stock Silverado ZR2 with 35" tires?

[mattmiller1973]

I think the key question is, what lift kit is necessary to fit 35’s but also won’t require trashing the multimatics.

i Tried to put 35” ko’s on my factory wheels and they rubbed in the back of the wheel wells. I didn’t want to use a lift or level, so I put some Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 295/70/18 on. There is no rub, truck is bone stock. I like the tires, a lot less noise than the Goodyears.

Do you think 35" tires will fit a stock Silverado ZR2 ? That would probably be my first upgrade.

not without changing out the upper control arms as well.they are the same as my old 2020 trail boss and i blew them in that truck with 35s.

That looks really good! I've thought about going with a 285 75 18 on the stock wheels. I think they will fit without any rubbing.

Looks great!

The 295/70R18 is on my to do list. I’ll keep my suspension geometry and ride for 34.3’s

hey,how are the 295/70 r18s on your truck?Is there still no rubbing?I ordered 295/70r18 Mickey Thompson A/Ts for mine so I am curious if you have found any issues?

Just to add to the conversation, BFG KO2 295/70/18’s release Oct 1.

69.4lbs 34.3” and minimum recommended pressure of 50.

It’s tempting, but increasing tire weight 15 lbs each and running 50PSI+ on range E seems like a heavy hit to the factory ride.

It’s ashame they don’t have more load range C tires for vehicles that are not in the GVWR spec to require E’s

They don’t rub. I like them. Haven’t had a problem with them.

Been running 40psi. I was going to play around with the pressure some, but like it how it is.

are they Cs or Es?the mickeys I ordered are Es so i imagine close to 50 psi for them.

I am running 35” BFG KM3 with no issue or rubbing in normal driving.

 

[Diesel328]

What are the metric measurements?

 

[L00L.MPG]

I am running 35” BFG KM3 with no issue or rubbing in normal driving.

With what though? Factory height? Factory rims? Do you have pictures how it sits?

Nitto just announced a new All Terrain called the Recon Grappler. It just released specs for 18" wheels:

How did these work out for you? I'm looking into getting these for mine as well.

There are FAR better tires than the Falkens unless you're on a tight budget...but, you did just buy a $75K truck.
