Tires and Spacers Issues?

[VAZR2]

Just got a new '24 Silverado ZR2 and looking to change tires to 35x12.5r18 w/ 1.5" spacers. Any issue or advice? Coming out of a Jeep, modes are easy on Jeep and the tech on the Jeep was nothing like this ZR2...haha Rubbing, Speedometer, Fit, any issues?

You will definitely have rubbing issues without leveling / lifting the front and trimming in the wheel well.

What are you running on your truck? And what leveling or lift did you put on your truck?

Not trying to be a dick but have you tried using the "search"?

There's a lot of posts with data on this subject if you search around.

Your most likely gonna rub with any tire larger than stock, especially with spacers or -12 or more offset rims.

Most 35 inch tires require lifting and leveling, as the wheel wells are simply too small for an offroad truck. Nothing like a Jeep, but you can solve it for $4-6k.

I have purchased the Peak leveling kit (not the 2.25” lift kit), dirt king control arms, bora 1.25” spacers. Once these stock tires wear out I will be running 295/70/18’s. I do expect some trimming to be required.

Changing tire size, speedometer will be off.

That combo, you will have to lift or you will tear the hell out of things. Depending upon how much lift, may still have to trim. I’m not running a lift or level, I’ve simply been here long enough to have seen all the other posts FWIW

If you have very specific questions, ask them in detail or this will turn into various comments like all the other threads. Good luck, they are solid rigs off and on road…definitely different than a Jeep!

I have a Rough Country 1.5” leveling kit and 295/70/18’s Nitto Recon Grapplers on stock rims and have zero rubbing. No trimming.
