Biggest tires without a lift

[NokiDill]

I'm new to the forum and originally came here to find out what was the biggest tire I could put on my 01 Tahoe, without a lift kit, or leveling kit. I just put 285/70R17's and am very happy with the results. Started out with 265/70R16's (stock).

Thanks to everyone for their input and suggestions. Very happy I joined!

Attached are my before and after pictures.

I'm running 305/45 R22 tires on a 9.5" wide 22" wheel on my 2002 LT and I think it's as big as I would go without a lift. The entire suspension is stock and I just replaced the rear auto ride shocks with re manufactured OEMs. The tire barely rubs the plastic inner fender when the wheel is turned all the way to either side. I believe the tires measure just shy of 33".... something like 32.6" or 32.8".

Welcome to the neighborhood!

IF you wind up with a little rubbing, you can crank the torsion bars a LITTLE (Never all the way) and gain some height that way, just make sure you have it aligned when you do. You can also trim the inner fender liners...

Any rubbing?

@NokiDill; any problems with rubbing with the 285/70 R 17 s?

I put some LT275/70R-17 Firestone Destination A/T C on with no issue. No lift or any other mods needed.
