Tire and wheel sizing
 
I have a 2010 Silverado and am wanting to put new tires and rims on. I have picked the BF Goodrich All Terrain TA tires but am not sure on the size. I want a more aggressive look to the truck and would like the tires to be as big as possible without having any grinding to the hub while turning in tight spots or having to buy a level/lift kit, I am somewhat open to the idea of fender flares as well in case the tire size is too wide. Also any recommendations to the size of rim that would look good?

Thanks

Find out what size you have now and then come back. Not tryin to be a dick but the newer silverados have no fender room so what you have is probably gonna be the biggest you can get without some sort or levelin kit or lift.

Hey without a lift and level you are stuck at either 265/70r17, 265/65r18 or 275/55r18,

With a lift and level kit you can go as large as 285/70r17,285/65r18 or 285/55r20

I have a 2.5" lift in the front 2" in the rear. And a 285/65r18 fits in but rubs on the mudflaps at full crank on my 2013

I have 265/70r17 right now, have some room for up sizing but not a lot. I have been thinking more of leveling it out just so the downward slant it gone.

You could maybe probably get away with a 285/70/17 but that's a stretch, maybe a lil trimming and you're good to go

Bourne11, just a tip...

Make your Tire selection first, THEN buy your Rims that are the same Width as the Tread Width of the Tire. Tires perform better and last longer, when the width of the Tire and the width of the Rim are the same.

I am looking into getting the Rough Country Leveling Kit for my 07' LT. Was also wondering what other size tires I would be able to strap on and be good to go. I was told possibly 33's but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Yup 33...or depending on if you want to cut, you could do a 34" tire
